How to optimize a laminate in Simcenter
Quick Overview Simcenter Laminate Composites (LC) allows you to optimize the fundamental properties of a laminate coupon- for example, increasing its modulus in the X direction, minimizing its mass or its thermal expansion- by modifying ply angles, ply thickness, ply...
Quickly Determine Laminate Coupon Test Loads using NX Laminate Composites
Demo Video: Quick Overview NX Laminate Composites (NXLC) allows you to easily define laminates, assign them to 2D or 3D meshes of complex geometries, and post-process composite failure metrics. For simple parts like test coupons, creating a FEM is not required, as...
How to validate the distribution of 2D element thickness in NX
Quick Overview NX Advanced Simulation provides several methods to define the thickness of 2D elements, such as derived from a mid-surface, assigned through Element Associated Data or from a physical property table. It is helpful to validate the thickness definition...
