Composite Failure

Hi there,

I'm creating a simple sandwich structure and am trying to view the composite failure and composite failure index, however, in HyperView it returns nothing. (but shows displacements and stresses and strains correctly). Attached is the fem file and the .out file. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Cheers

Hi LauraT,

I can see that you have not chosen any failure theory in properties. Please, select any one failure theory from list and then run the analysis and check for failure and index values.

To follow on from the question above, when Hyperview shows 'composite failure' what is it actually depicting?

Eg; I understand 'composite failure index' means that if the number is greater than 1, the composite has failed.

The image attached shows a scale on the left hand side. What does that scale show?

Hope that makes sense

Cheers
