Create an input file that is compatible with Simulation Composite Analysis.
It is assumed that you are familiar with the process of using Abaqus/CAE to create an Abaqus input file. Consequently, this section focuses primarily on those aspects of model creation that are unique to Simulation Composite Analysis. In particular, this section explains the use of the software's two Graphical User Interfaces (GUI's) that can be accessed from within Abaqus/CAE. The Create Composite Material GUI provides a simple, intuitive means for you to create composite material definitions that are compatible with Simulation Composite Analysis. The Create Cohesive Material GUI allows you to create cohesive material definitions for delamination predictions in Simulation Composite Analysis.
