    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.

    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

    I want to model woven carbon fiber laminate whose stacking sequence is [04s/904s]

    • I create property PCOMPP 
    • I create ply for 0o and 90o 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.
