Simulation Composite Analysis was used to generate matrix and fiber failure indices for each integration point in a composite plate.
Three procedures specific to
Simulation Composite Analysis were used:
- A composite user material was defined (Define a User Material).
- State variable output to the database file (.op2) was requested (Prepare the Analysis).
- Patran was used to plot the fiber and matrix failure indices across all plies using an envelope plot (View and Interpret Results).
