Hi,

I am simulating guided waves in a carbon fibre reinforced laminate plate in ANSYS Mechanical Transient Analysis. So far, I have defined the materialitic properties as homogenous throughout the plate, but now I want to use "layered sections" to define the fibre layers. I am unable to find the option under the "Geometry" tree.

The model is a 500mm x 500mm x 2mm plate defined as a solid object. What could I be doing wrong?

 

Thanks in advance,

Robert

Hello Robert,

Layered sections option is only available when the model has either midsurfaces or surface elemnts. Solid elements are not vaild to create layered sections.

For more information on using layered sections, kindly refer to below link:

Nanda.
