Controls the computation and output of composite element ply results. If NOCOMPS is set to 1 or OFF, composite element ply results will be output while the equivalent homogeneous element results will be suppressed. If NOCOMPS is set to -1, 0 or ON, composite element ply results will be suppressed while the equivalent homogeneous element results will be output. When NOCOMPS is set to AUTO, NOCOMPS will be set to OFF (ply results are calculated) when either element force, stress or strain is requested or a nonlinear solution is performed and NLCOMPPLYFAIL is set to ON, and to ON (ply results are not calculated) otherwise reducing calculation time. |
