Hi,

As per the release notes, Simsolid Version 2021 supports orthotropic material data. do you have any sample model available for models with orthotropic material properties?

Regards

    Hi Sujith,

     

    We don't have a model with simulation results in the tutorials yet but you can find a tutorial for creating an orthotropic material in the SimSolid Tutorials>Assembly>Material Database>Create Orthotropic Material. 

    You can then apply that material to any part and change the orientation of the material by right-clicking on a part with that material assignment in the Assembly Tree and selecting Set orthotropic material geometry.

    Thanks for your feedback, we will add a tutorial for this feature in the future. 

     

    Best,
