Laminate Composites > Creating a laminate physical property
Create a laminate physical property for the zone-based process
This example shows how to create a simple three-ply laminate and assign it to the 2D mesh collector.
Choose Laminates tab→2D group→Laminate Physical Property .
Create three plies. In the Ply Layup tab, click Create New Ply three times.
In the ply layup list, select the plies and assign a material, thickness, and angle for each ply.
The total number of plies and the total thickness of the laminate are displayed in the Ply Sketcher tab.
Click OK.
In the Simulation Navigator , right-click the 2D mesh collector and choose Edit.
From the Type list, select Laminate.
From the Shell Property list, select the laminate physical property that you just created.
Click OK.
