Hi, I'm trying to perform an analysis on a carbon fiber wheel, for such task; I have succesfully define the properties and configure the ACP module. Now I was trying to see the differences when I increase the fabric thickness, the thing is that when the final thickness of the ply (all laers and stacks considered) is over a certain thickness, in my case 0,8 mm; the mesh gets deformed, as I see in the static structural analysis that I attach to the ACP configuration. The conection beetwen the ACP and the Static Structural modules is done by sharing shell properties and not solid, just in case this is relevant..

I think that this is related to the small size of some areas in the wheel geometry; but I would be really glaad if you guys help me to solve this problem.

I'll attach some images to show what is my problem.
