Solution and post processing

With this software, you can use Nastran, Simcenter Samcef, ANSYS, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, or Simcenter 3D Multiphysics to solve the finite element solution.

When you display results from your model in the Post Processing Navigator, you can view:

• 2D shell stress resultants

• Solid element forces

• Ply strains, stresses, and failure indices

• For Nastran, interlaminar (bond) failure indices, ply and interlaminar strength ratios

• For Simcenter Samcef, interlaminar stresses, scalar damage, damage tensor, critical load case, and critical ply

• Interlaminar stresses and delamination results for cohesive layers

Using the advanced laminate post report metasolution, you can:

• Quickly identify critical areas using summaries.

• Envelope ply results over all plies and for multiple load cases: Ply stress and strainPly and bond failure indexPly and bond margin of safety Ply and bond strength ratio

• Sort and filter results in tabular format.

• Recalculate ply results using modified laminate definitions without launching a new solution.
