Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding ACP. I created a laminate which plan is [-45/0/45/90]s. But when i wanted to see stiffness and compliance matrices in ACP, 8x8 matrices were created instead of 6x6. What is the reason of this?

Stiffness and Compliance Matrices are in below figure.

Thanks in advance.

nThe laminate stiffness matrix is an 8 x 8 matrix that contains the ABD matrix (6 x 6) as well as the shear matrix C (2 x 2).nPlease refer to the link below:nnnRegards,nAshish KhemkannTo access the Ansys Help: /forum/discussion/3978/how-to-access-the-ansys-online-helpn
