PCOMPP Card image

Hi @Bhushan D. Neve

PCOMPP is only compatible with 2D elements. If you have 3D elements you need to use a different property like PSOLID. 

Thanks Prakash,

One more question. I have define contact surfaces and tie contact between contact surfaces. If I change meshing of one component then contact surface has to be redefine or it will get automatically updated.

Hi @Bhushan D. Neve

If you did a remesh, the contact surface for the region will vanish. You need to create contact surfaces after remeshing.

Okay thanks.

I also want to ask a question

with this card image PCOMPP, how many ply we can model?

for example, when I attempt to model a crfp laminate, which consist of 8 ply [0/90] I can only two ply 

how to realize in optistruct

Hi,

I am sorry, I did not get your point. could you explain this in detail, please?

I want to model woven carbon fiber laminate whose stacking sequence is [0_4s/90_4s]₈ 

• I create property PCOMPP 
• I create ply for 0^o and 90^o fiber orientation using PLY card image 
• I create a laminate adding this ply created previous step

Problem, I have experinced, is I can use this ply once for both 0 and 90 ply I cannot use one more time and I have to create new ply   

Hi @durukanbdilek

Since you have 8 plies in your stack, you need to create 8 different plies and refer all in laminate.

it is absurd because I have only two ply 

I think this property must be changed.

When i create ply, i can't put card image=ply. Why?
