Composite - mat orientations,

Altair Forum User

Hi, i want to assign mat direction for composite layup in a bicycle wheel but am running into issues. \not sure if it is the way i have setup my cylindrical coordinate system or assigning the mat directions.  

-  my goal is to have the directions tangentially around the center for the vertical walls. i have attached what i am currently getting. 

- along the circumference on the cylindrical walls.

Hi @karmanya

 

Looks like the issue is with creating the system.

 

Here is a sample file where Z runs along the axis, please check if this helps.
