Field |
Contents |
|---|---|
PID |
Unique composite property identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
CORDM |
Identification number of the material coordinate system. Default = 0 (Integer) |
C8 |
Flag indicating that the subsequent field applies to referenced CHEXA and CPENTA solid elements. |
INT8 |
Integration type. ASTN: Applies the Assumed Strain Enhanced Formulation. Default=ASTN (ASTN or blank) |
IDi |
Global Ply ID. No default (Integer > 0) |
MIDi |
Material ID for the ply defined via the previous IDi field. No default (Integer > 0) |
Ti |
Defines the actual thickness of the ply specified via the IDi field. No default (Real > 0.0) |
THETAi |
Orientation angle of the ply within the ply plane. The X-axis coordinate system defined via CORDM (basic system, if blank) is projected onto the ply plane. The orientation angle is measured from this projected X-axis along the projected Z-axis (Comment 4). Default = 0.0 (Real) |
Comments
| 1. | The global Ply ID should be unique with respect to other ply’s on this PCOMPLS entry. |
| 2. | The PCOMPLS entry is only supported for CHEXA and CPENTA elements. |
| 3. | The Global Ply IDs uniquely identify ply’s across all PCOMPG and PCOMPLS entries. |
| 4. | The ply plane is defined perpendicular to the thickness direction of the composite element. The thickness direction by default starts from face G1-G2-G3-G4 to face G5-G6-G7-G8 of the solid element. Ply numbering also follows this thickness direction. |
