No CSTRESS and CFAILURE for certain plies

Hello,

in my model I simulate a carbon fibre wing. I do get results for it's deformation but none for the composite stress and failure in all areas. Only for certain plies stress and failure are visible. I had this problem a few times with this model. After redoing the laminate the visible areas change, but I only get results for the entire wing when I use very simple plies. I wonder why that happens. Due to the lack of a meshing feature in the 2022 version of Hyperworks I am using the 2021.2 version.  

Thanks for your advice!

    2 thngs to check:

     

    - after remeshing, have you updated the ply shape (element set) with the new elements?

    - if the above is ok, are you sure your ply is requesting results output for that particular ply? (SOUT) Stress output might be independently requested per ply.
