Using Orthotropic Materials in Altair SimSolid

Evan Brennan_20557

Learn how to create, assign, and orient orthotropic materials and observe the difference in modal analyses when the orthotropy is aligned properly with specific parts.

• Create and assign a new orthotropic material
• Run baseline modal analysis with default material orientation
• Create new design study with a local coordinate system to properly orient material properties for some parts
• Re-run modal analysis
• Compare results
