Hello group

I wanted to input the ABD Matrices directly to define a Laminate. Can this be done in hypermesh?

Regards

Pratik

    Hi,

    I hope it can be possible through Hyperlaminate. Refer User guide of Hypermesh & Optistruct tutorials.

    Hi Pratik,

    I don't think it is possible to create a laminate based on ABD matrix.

    HyperLaminate will calculate ABD matrix for your laminate based on the inplane loads and strains and save the same for you. But there is no way to import the matrix into it.
