Laminate Ply Material dialog box — Core type

Option Description
Name Sets a name for the core ply material. This name is listed in the Ply material list in the Laminate Modeler dialog box and the Layup Modeler dialog box.
Label Sets an ID label for the core ply material.
Basic Information
Material Sets the material for the core ply.
Options
Strength Correction Factor Specifies how the strength correction factor is defined. The software uses the strength correction factor to calculate the failure metrics.ExpressionSets a constant value for the strength correction factor. You specify the value in the Expression box.FieldLets you define the strength correction factor as a function of the ply thickness.
Additional magnitude options for boundary conditions
You can define the magnitude with a constant value, expression, or field. You can:Type a constant value directly in the box.Type an expression directly in the box. As you begin to type the expression, tooltips provide hints about valid parameter names. If you type an invalid or incomplete expression, the warning icon appears next to the box.Click and select:
Expression Opens the Expressions dialog box, where you can select an existing expression or create a new one.For more information about expressions, see Expressions.
For more information about other options in the list, see Additional magnitude options.
These options are available when the strength correction factor is defined as Field.
Select Existing Field from List Lets you select an existing field.
Formula Constructor Lets you use a formula to construct a field. For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a formula field.
Table Constructor Lets you use a table to construct a field.For more information, see Define a boundary condition using a table field and Define a material property using a table field.
Link Constructor Lets you reference an existing field. You can override the field's spatial map to use the field in another location.For more information, see Linked Field dialog box.
Plot(XY) Plots the field as an XY graph.For more information, see: Plot functions, Graph overview, and Edit display properties of graph objects.
