      Hello. I obtained the ABD stiffness matrices of laminated composite. In Ansys apdl, can I give these matrices instead of the orthotropic properties of individual layers? I don't want to model individual layers anymore.

      Hi,

      Please see if the following link helps: how to get the stiffness matrix from ACP (ansys.com)

        I checked this site. But it does not solve my problem. I have the A, B, D matrices. I want to know how to apply these matrices to the structure without knowing the mechanical properties of each layer.
