Material orientation of ply
Hi,
1. Is the material orientation of each ply the same? I assigned different material orientations to each ply, but I cannot get the expected material orientations.
2. How to assign material orientation to elements with ply (fiber) direction? I try to assign the material orientation to plies with the cooridinate systems each ply used in drapping operations. But I found the obtained material orientation is not coincident with the ply direction. The attached pictures are the results of this test (for example, the directions in face A). I want to get the same directions, but I don't know how to do.
