Laminate Composites > Solver-specific properties
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. |
