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