      This video demonstrates the lay-up mapping capability of ANSYS Composite PrepPost (ACP) using a full cross-section composite spring. The lay-up for the model is made of 45 layers, a core, and a unidirectional roving that follows the helical shape of the spring.

      ANSYS Mechanical software is a comprehensive FEA analysis (finite element) tool for structural analysis, including linear, nonlinear and dynamic studies. The engineering simulation product provides a complete set of elements behavior, material models and equation solvers for a wide range of mechanical design problems. In addition, ANSYS Mechanical offers thermal analysis and coupled-physics capabilities involving acoustic, piezoelectric, thermal-structural and thermo-electric analysis. ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool that provides in-depth analysis of structural and coupled-field behavior in a highly productive environment for optimal engineering.
