As part of this project, I am trying to parameterize the ply material for a four-ply laminate.<\/p>\n<p>I need help parameterizing the ply-fabric material property (I want to swap between Carbon\/Epoxy and Eglass\/Epoxy for all four plies). I&#8217;ve attached a figure of what I&#8217;ve done to set this up in ACP (Pre). However, all attempts at varying the ply material have failed. I only see integer values for the material property input in the parameter window.&nbsp;<br \/>I am still determining if I&#8217;ve set this up correctly. Please give me guidance on how to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/07-02-2023-1675794301-Screenshot 2023-02-07 132359.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/07-02-2023-1675794438-2.png\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-249024","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-acp-compositematerials-1","topic-tag-compositematerials-1","topic-tag-acp-compositematerials-2","topic-tag-parameterization","topic-tag-parameterize"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["274513","5977"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.220.96.181"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["980"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["249024"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["5977","274513"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["249044"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["249044"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-02-07 22:24:25"]},"test":"robin-shresthauconn-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/249024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/249024\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
