We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi,

I suggest you to perform the analysis on full 3D model of the COPV instead of axisymmetric if you want to take in account the changing winding angle.
See if this knowledge material on setting up variable winding on COPV helps: How can I setup variable winding (fiber) angles on a COPV (composite overwrap pressure vessel using ACP and tables capabiliity? The fiber angle changes in the dome region and I need to account for the changing angle. - Ansys Knowledge.

Thanks!Â
