Overview
In the case of thick composites, the layered shell theory can cause significant errors in the obtained results. In some cases, it is necessary to work with 3D models, also referred to as Solid Models.
This workshop considers a full cross-section composite spring consisting of a laminate wrapped around a UD core aligned with the axis of the spring.
Prerequisites
- Introduction to Ansys Composite PrepPost (ACP)
- Prior knowledge of Python is of benefit but not a necessity.
- When scripting in ACP, it is recommended to use a source code editor such as Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code.
