Hi,

I work on an assembly containing a composite and multiple metal parts. The composite part is preprocessed in ACP-Pre, the metal parts in a Mechanical Model and then they are connected to a Static Structural system. In the Static Structural Pre-Meshed Cyclic Symmetry is used. I used to do the post-processing of the composite part in ACP-Post, however we recently updated to 2025R2 and I realized that ACP-Post is not working anymore. I know of the Composite Failure Tool in Mechanical, however it cannot be used together with Pre-Meshed Cyclic Symmetry, which is the only cyclic symmetry, that can be used with ACP-Pre models. Is there any way to evaluate the Hashin failure criteria of the composite part in Mechanical with the cyclic symmetry? I would like to keep the project in Workbench/Mechanical, because I'm planning to parametrize the maximum Hashin criteria of the composite part and the maximum stress results of the metal parts for further optimization.
