Adding layers between a thickness of 2D shell elements

Good afternoon members of the forum,

I wanted to get some help into applying layers through a thickness into a 2D mesh model with shell elements. I would appreciate any bit of information I could get. Thank you for your time and have a good day.

Best Regards,

Iram Hernandez

I believe you want something like composite layers?

By using a PCOMPP property you may associate as many layers you want into your 2D model, defining thickness and material for each layer/ply.

Have you tried this great video posted by Blaise?
