Laminate Composites > Solver-specific properties
Abaqus solver properties
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Offset | Defines the offset of the laminate reference plane with respect to the mesh element plane. |
| Density | Defines the non structural mass per unit area for the laminate. |
| Section Integration****Section Points | Lets you define the shell section integration method and number of integration points. |
| Stack Direction | Defines the ply stack direction. |
| Continuum Shell | Use this option when you want to set the laminate normal direction for SC3R solid laminate elements. |
| Material Orientation | Lets you set the material orientation for the laminate. |
| Output Format | Specifies the solid formulation output format when exporting the 3D laminate to the Abaqus solver: layered or homogeneous. |
