Create Failure Criteria Puck

Annika

Hello,

 

I'm new in Optistruct and I want to make a static analysis of a composite part. I created a Laminate with PCOMPP property. I'm trying to assign the failure criteria Puck to my part. Is it necessary to create a MATF card for this and what should I enter in the card? Is it also necessary to select SOUT as YES on each Ply card for PCOMPP? 

 

Thank you in advance for the help

SOUT YES is necessary for failure modes.

 

MATF is necessary for this model.

Please see attached examples and description.
