Hello Chirag,

Note that at Ansys 2024R1, there is a new winding wizard in ACP:

You will find more information about it in the help:

”The Winding Wizard generates a winding lay-up for an axisymmetric body. The Wizard is useful for creating a simple lay-up where the paths are geodesic. For more complex winding lay-ups, consider importing the lay-up from a dedicated winding tool using ACP’s feature Import from HDF5 Composite CAE File … (See HDF5 Composite CAE Format.) CADWIND, CADFIL ,and μWind (Mefex GmbH) are all able to export Composite CAE H5 files and generate machine code.

The Wizard generates the following objects:

  • A cylindrical Rosette which defines a reference direction along the circumferential direction of the axisymmetric body

  • An Oriented Selection Set

  • A Lookup Table with the thickness corrections and angles

  • A template Selection Rule if limits are defined

  • A Modeling Group with the Plies

Once the lay-up is generated, you can manually adjust it. For example, you can edit the thicknesses and angles in the Look-up Table or edit the parameters of the Selection Rule.
