Ply orientation continuity in diferent material directions

Altair Forum User

Hi everyone,

 

I ve a problem modeling a laminate composite.

I have a ply that intersects two element sets (for interleaving plies), and each one must have diferent material directions because this is a cyclic part.

Is it possible to get ply orientation continuity?  In the picture I have a blue ply that is changing direction in the border of element set and I want it with only one direction. But the material orientation must continue the same.

 

 

Any sugestion?

 

Thank you,

Gonçalo
