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 Erik,

thanks for your reply. The problem is first I am working with Ansys classic not with Workbench. And second I am creating and analysing the cross sections and their properties in an external program, which is especially adapted to wind turbine blade cross sections. Therefore, I have already the 6x6 matrices for mass and stiffness and want to part from there with an BEAM,188 model and not bulding my composite cross section with ACP.

However, thanks for your suggestion!
