Composite Laminate Mechanical Properties Calculation in Hypermesh

Hi,

I have defined a composite laminate using PCOMP card in Hypermesh i.e. defined individual plies, material, thickness & orientation. I wish to find the mechanical properties of the entire laminate i.e. Exx, Eyy, Nu12 etc. Is there a function to calculate the same in Hypermesh? Usually in other FEA softwares, there is a function to calc the above using PCOMP definition.

Thx

Hi @Burner2k

I will check and update to you soon.

Answering my own question.

I think in Hyperlaminate, there is an option to calculate the laminate properties using PCOMP definition. One has to click on available PCOMP cards to highlight/select & make it active. In the attached figure, the calculate button is greyed out because I had already used it to calc as can be seen on the right.
