Hi..
I'm new to Ansys.. I need to model a composite plate with a hole. It needs to have 5 laminated layers with different fiber orientations.
I've been through all similar queries here and have managed to understand how to model the layup (using the section -> shell method).
I have also modelled a sample plate with a hole.
I have also inputed the various material properties of each individual layer (through the Material Model editor).
BUT!! HOW DO I INTEGRATE THE LAYUP WITH THE SAMPLE PLATE ???.
I mean, i have the various layers and their orientations and properties being displayed, but how do i model a composite plate (with a hole) with these layers???
Any help would be deeply appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance
