I have done composite size optimization but wondering if there is any automated tool that can help shape the ply into more manufacturable shapes? 

Any help in this regard?

    OptiStruct 2017.2.2 offers Automatic ZONE generation in composite free-Size is available so that ZONE will be internally generated based on the size of zone specified on the GROUP continuation line in DSIZE entry.
