Hi guys. Yeasterday i was running a free size optimization with stack card, so im working with composites. I already have done optimizations like these, but the free size always creates my 4 plies for each ply i define at the beggining. This time, the optimization is only creating 2 plies for each defined early. Is there any option where i can change this?

    Hi,

     

    You can specify the bundles through OUTPUT>>FStoSZ. Default value is 4. 

     

    Unfortunately this option is not avialable through GUI so you need to edit the deck in any notepad or text pad and include the bundle option.
