  Hello,
  
  I wanted to replicate the NAFEMS composite laminate benchmark test as described in this link:https://classes.engineering.wustl.edu/2009/spring/mase5513/abaqus/docs/v6.6/books/bmk/default.htm?startat=ch04s09anf81.html)
  
  I recreated the composite part using ansys acp and conducted the study using static structural with boundary conditions and loading as described in the source material. However I am not able to get the same deflection as the NAFEMS result. I have attached few screenshots to help. Where can the mistake be ?

  Hi
  
  This benchmark exists in the Ansys verification manual:

  Hope this helps and
  All the best
