Good day,
I have a student version of HyperWorks 2020.1. I have a problem with editing laminates and plies. When I want to edit them, I don't have the Edit button, only Card Edit. However, with that, those changes in laminates or plies are not made. I need help with how to fix it or where to turn with help for help.

Thank you

    you are trying to edit the 'components'.

    You need to find in your list the entities 'plies'.

     

    Also in newer versions all the setup for composites is made by the "Composite Browser"

    So, make sure you have launched it from View menu >> Browsers....

    Hi,

    I have the same problem with editing my plies after the free size optimization. I am following the monocoque tutorial for composite optimization. On page 26 the tutorial shows a way how to edit the ply-shapes for later manufacturability. Sadly I have the same problem like Jiri. I also have a student version of HyperWorks and I can not see an edit button. 

    Is there any other way how to edit the plies ?

    Thanks you

    Kay
