[Radioss] how to set material for a solid model using PROP/Type

Altair Forum User

Hi all there

 

I have a question which I would like to ask you about how to solve. 

Problem: create an analyzing model (3 layers model) by using prop/type22 and calculate it. Then compare the result with the result of prop/solid/1

 

for example: A model which have 3 layers (sandwich layer) have the detail as follow:

t1 = 0.1, Young modulus1 = 3000 MPa

t2 = 0.8, Young modulus2 = 20000 MPa

t3 = 0.1, Young modulus3 = 3000 MPa

and calculate 2 cases (the result should be the same)

case 1: use prop/type22 to set 3 layer one

case 2: use prop/solid/1 and use the mean value of young modulus = 11700 MPa

 

thank you in advance!

Hi,

 

You can select the material for individual layers,

 

Is this what you are looking for?
