Laminate Composites > Solver-specific properties

LS-DYNA solver properties

Property	Details
Shell Offset Factor (NLOC) (*PART_COMPOSITE subgroup)	Defines the offset of the laminate reference plane with respect to the mesh element plane.
Nonstructural Mass (MAREA) (*PART_COMPOSITE subgroup)	Defines the non structural mass per unit area for the laminate.
*INTEGRATION_SHELL subgroup	Lets you define through the thickness integration rules for the shell element and the treatment of failure.
Material Option	You can use Pre/Post composite materials or you must provide LS-DYNA composite material decks.
HOURGLASS Option	Lets you define the bulk viscosity properties.
