Hello,

 

I want to create a laminate, I already created the plys. When I want to create a laminate, Ive been told, there should be a window that allows me to order my plys and stuff. But it doesnt open. When I klick "create laminate", it just creates a laminate, nothing more or less. Im unsure what to do now.

Thanks for your help in adavance.

    Hello,

    im using HyperWorks 2020.1 and the user profile Optistruct.

    When I create a laminate, nothing else happens, except a pop up window with the information on the bottom left. But I need to reorder my plys, and i heard there should be a pop up window, that will allow me to do this.

    as i've mentioned before, you will use Composite Browser, from now on.

     

    Crate your plies, and then create a laminate. In Composite Browser, you can just drag and drop your plies to your Laminate and then reorder by dragging them up and down.

    are you using which user profile? OptiStruct?

    And which version of HyperMesh.

    In newer versions you need to go to 'Composite' Browser.
