List draping results
Use the List Draping Results command lets you export draping information for a given ply to a spreadsheet application or a comma separated values (CSV) file. You can then use the report to evaluate the validity of your draping.
For a given ply, the created report contains the draping solver that was used, the starting and lock angles, and the number of elements.
For each element, the report contains:
Element ID
Shear angle
Yarn angle
Primary direction
Secondary direction
Normal direction
Where do I find it?
In a FEM file with at least one global layup defined:
