Hi all.

I made a composite in the material designer and the calculation on the test model through static analysis and ACP.

I have a mistake in ACP:

 

My course of action: I made and material steel + PVC:

This is the result:

Next, I made a shell cylinder and set up one layer in ACP:

Next, I made a calculation in static analysis:

Next, I transferred the result to ACP POST. To check the cylinder for failure criteria. Because in static analysis it is impossible to check the composite for safety margin:

And here I have such an error. What is the reason? Thank you.

Check what material data do you have in "Engineering data" in System C (ACP pre)

First message points to the missing ply type data

 

For failure evaluation, depedning on the failure type (tsai - wu, puck etc), you will need the constants in engineering data, Example for puck

Are these defined?

Thanks for the answer. Yes, I figured out the play type. And I have the following error regarding the destruction criteria, as you said

But how do I find these parameters for a new composite? I made it in the material designer and now it should have new destruction parameters. The material designer can determine them for me on the new resulting composite?

HELP. PLEASE.
