ANSYS laminate results
Depending on the exported ANSYS element and selected KEYOPTs, you are able to compute the following results:
Element force for solid elements
Shell stress and strain resultants for shell elements
Ply stresses and strains
Failure criteria for all failure theories supported by ANSYS
Note:
Shell stress and strain resultant results use the material coordinate system and ply stress and ply strain results use the ply coordinate system. In post processing, the coordinate system information of all these results is displayed as Coord sys: Native. This indicates that the results are extracted from the solver results file without transformation.
ANSYS ply results are at the top, middle, and bottom of the ply.
