Laminate Composites > Defining plies and a stacking sequence
Define a stacking sequence using Paste Repetition
After copying one or more plies or ply groups, use Paste Repetition to paste multiple copies with a single command.
In the Ply Layup tab, enter the number of desired repetitions in the Paste Repetition box. You can use the up or down arrows instead.
Select the desired stacking sequence in the list directly to the right of the Paste Repetition box. Then click Paste.
