I create the stackup sequence for each dome and the cylindrical part separately. First of all I model the alluminum liner for the tank as a whole, then I model the plies [10\/-10\/10\/-10] for the dome at the negative orientation of longitudinal x axis of the global coordinate system, then the plies [10\/-10\/10\/-10\/90\/90\/90\/90\/90\/90] for the cylinder and finally the same plies for the positive dome as for the negative one.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/21-01-2025-1737494694-mceclip0.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/21-01-2025-1737494965-mceclip1.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/21-01-2025-1737495008-mceclip2.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I solve my model in static structural and I define element orientation I get this message &#8221;Some Element Orientations will be ignored in the solution process due to overlapping elements from Imported Plies&#8221;.
