ANSYS solver properties

Property Details
Material Failure Criteria subgroup You must export the FC card for failure index calculations.
Output Format Specifies the shell and solid formulation output format when exporting the laminate to the ANSYS solver: layered or homogeneous.
Added mass per unit area Defines the non structural mass per unit area for the laminate.
Layer symmetry key If you select (1) YES your laminate plies will be just half of a symmetric laminate that is exported to ANSYS.
Real Constants (SHELL99) subgroup Lets you specify specific properties for SHELL99 elements.
SECCONTROLS/Real Constants subgroup Lets you override solver calculated properties for shells.
