Converting PCOMPP to PCOMPG/PCOMP

Hey,

I am working with a composite free-size optimization of a laminate, and need to export it for analysis in ESAComp.

This requires the results to be exported as a CSV file, which apparently only works for PCOMPG/PCOMP composite models.

My question is whether there is any way to convert a ply based composite model to a zone based one?

Alternatively if there is another clever way to export a ply based model as a .csv

 

Thanks

    Hi,

     

    there's an option into the Laminate, to 'Realize' the composite, which basically transforms the laminate to PCOMPG.
