Hypermesh to hypercrash composite material

Altair Forum User

Hi,

 

Previously, I was converting optistruct model to radioss model in hypermesh, it looked fine and some fine tune of the model needed.

 

but when i export it as Radioss solver deck, and input it into hypercrash, most of the thing run off.

 

Example, in hypermesh, my composite set up is using shell with /prop/ply(TYPE19) -> /prop/stack (TYPE17), the /prop/SH_SANDW. It look fine in HM and able to view the thickness in 3D view.

After export it and import in HC, there is no thickness showing in all the composite site, I am wondering is it the composite setting up in Radioss for HM and HC is different?

and how can we view the thickness as in the below picture in Hypercrash?

Do you guys have any tutorial of using Hypercrash for composite setting up just like in Hypermesh?

I cannot find it in the HELP there.

 

Thanks.

Hi Kin Poh,

Unfortunately I don't think we have tutorials available for composite modelling in HyperCrash.

In HyperCrash we don't have an option to visualize composite layers with fiber direction.

Hi George,

 

Is that possible you just create a very simple model to illustrate ply and stack modeling in hypercrash?

 

Thanks.

Hi Kin Poh,

I have never tried composite modelling in HyperCrash and I'm pretty doubtful whether it is possible in HyperCrash.

I'll check regarding this and will update you very soon.
