  Hello everyone,
  I want to model semi elliptical composite shell in ANSYS ACP. For that, I have to select rosette for ply orientation. There are several rosette types such as parallel, spherical, cylindrical, radial. Which one is suitable for modelling of semi elliptical composite shell?
  Thank you
  regards

  Hi,
  Depending on the application Cylindrical Rosette type can be used.
  Please refer ANSYS help documentation on the use case of Rosette type 2.1.5.2. Rosette Types (ansys.com)
  Thanks
