Hi

I would like to turnoff some plies and want to check the affect on the results. How can i turn off it so that it will not include in the laminate and also in the solver? Any quick way to do that?

    Can you try with entity state browser with export option unchecked.

    This is not working, since it doesn't remove the ply from the laminate panel and if import this again it gives an error during solver run. Also i dont want to export the file, rather i want to deactivate the ply in the hypermesh and then just press the optistruct to run the solver without considering that inactive ply.

     

    Is that possible ?
