Prop/Type17 plyxfem and Mint_IDi are not visible

Good evening guys,

I am trying to model a composite structure with delamination capabilities by using Prop/type17. Even though I am reading that it entails the capabilities of plyxfem and to determine interply material by the flag Mint_IDi . Those two flags are not visible. Does anyone has faced the same problem? Is there a chance that are not visible by my model setut of they should have been visible by default. I am attaching the respective file.

Thx.

Hi,

looks like the plyxfem functionality is still in beta version so it can only be set up manually with text editor.

from Radioss help:

Plyxfem formulation

The plyxfem formulation is activated using the Plyxfem flag. It used to describe the delamination between plies.

Once plyxfem is activated (Plyxfem=2) then an interply material (Minterply) must be defined between each ply.

This interply material must use LAW1 with Ladeveze failure criteria (/FAIL/LAD_DAMA) for delamination.

This option is in the beta stage.
