ANSYS 14.0 Update for Composites Design

Composite materials have gained popularity (despite their generally high cost) in high-performance products that need to be lightweight yet strong enough to take harsh loading conditions. Compared to traditional structures made of single materials such as steel or plastic, composites are much more challenging to simulate. This presentation discusses all aspects of composites simulation, from model setup to advanced modeling techniques such as VCCT and delamination.
