Nonlinear composite Progressive Ply Failure Analysis (PPFA) option. When set to ON, composite plies that fail the user specified failure theory (FT field on the PCOMP Bulk Data entry) will be reduced in material stiffness based on reduction scale factors specified on MAT1 and MAT8 Bulk Data entries. PPFA is supported in nonlinear static and transient solution sequences only. |
