Modelling CFK Struts in OptiStruct

Altair Forum User

Hello,

 

has anyone ever done a modelling of CFK struts before? Dimensioning a strut based on an isotropic material is not an issue, for this I would use a size-optimization with the regarding Dim1 and Dim2 parameter. But how can I implement the 'CFK' aspect?

 

I would be really happy for every input!

Thanks

Sorry for not choosing the right one in the first place!
