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.
