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 Quirin,

Ansys Composite PrepPost in Release 24R2 has the capability of creating solid models with reinforcing elements. You can use those in conjunction with either 1.) the newly released winding wizzard, 2.) supported filament winding tools where you can import layup data through HDF5 interface, 3.) create Look Up Tables which contain all data to define material orientations by your very own method.

Reinforcing ELements in ACP: 2.1.16.2. Imported Solid Model (ansys.com)

HDF5 data import: 2.3.1. HDF5 Composite CAE Format (ansys.com)

Look Up Tables: 2.1.7. Look-Up Tables (ansys.com)

I'd like to advice to create a Service Request if you need further Help. 

 

Regards

Thomas
