So far, I have defined the materialitic properties as homogenous throughout the plate, but now I want to use &#8220;layered sections&#8221; to define the fibre layers. I am unable to find the option under the &#8220;Geometry&#8221; tree.<\/p>\n<p>The model is a 500mm x 500mm x 2mm plate defined as a solid object.
