[GiDlist] Laminate Definition
Posted: Tue Oct 08, 2013 3:29 pm
Hello GiD team,
I am dealing with the problem of laminated composite plates, so I am trying to make the new problemtype for the GiD, for the analysis of the laminated plates/shells. I would like to define the laminate properties in the following way:
1. Define several orthotropic materials with properties E1, E2, E3, G12,... (*.mat file) - these materials will not be applied to elements, they only serve for defining the laminate property. For example, I have defined Mat_1, Mat_2, Mat_3.
2. Define the condition named Laminate (which will be applied to all surfaces/elements). Simply, I want to compose the laminate from materials I have already defined. In this condition, I would like to input number of layers of the plate, and after that to have the empty cells for the following input:
Thickness:_____
Fibers Angle:_________
Material:__________(here I would like to choose the Material from the list of already defined materials), maybe with #MAT# field.
I should have this for all layers, so is it somehow possible to have an empty matrix for the properties, after I define the number of layers? the matrix should look like:
Thickness Angle Material
Layer 1 [ ] [ ] [ combo ]
Layer 2 [ ] [ ] [ combo ]
Layer 3 [ ] [ ] [ combo ]
