Unable to export plies and laminates created in LS_Dyna solver through HM


Able to view the plies created and the various layers and thickness - using laminates for the same.

 

As no card image is present for the laminates and plies - unable to provide the data in the input for Dyna solver

 

We are using the *PART_COMPOSITE option to build the composite models

But our customer has some concerns that the layers between the various *PART_COMPOSITE do not match.

 Eg: if one *PART_COMPOSITE has 5 layers and another one adjacent to it has 7 layers, the connectivity between the individual layers is lost due to the difference in plies

 They are asking us to use PLY option to represent the thickness

 

Request help on the same

    Hi Koti,

     

    I think you should use *PART_Composite card to create laminates using material and PIDs.

     

    It is not possible use a ply create using Create ply option when you are in Dyna profile.

    Hi Koti,

     

    Not sure how a PLY is represented in LSDyna, If you know the keyword or card image for Ply we can help or you can get in touch with Dyna support for more information for ply based laminate modelling.
