| Lesson | Support File | |
| Building Composites Models (“flatplate”): This example illustrates how conventional laminated composite models using a laminated material description of the layup are prepared in MSC.Patran. (Pat325) | PC, Unix | |
| Composites Failure Criteria (“flatplate_res”): This example introduces the capabilities of the MSC.Patran Laminate Modeler for conducting composites failure analyses. (Pat325) | PC, Unix | |
| Ply Representation of a Layup (“fairing”): This example illustrates the advantages of the ply-based description of the composites model as used by the MSC.Patran Laminate Modeler. (Pat325) | PC, Unix | |
| Drape Analysis I (“drapeintro”): This example introduces the main features of draping using a simple but doubly-curved surface. (Pat325) | PC, Unix | |
| Drape Analysis II (“gausscurv” & “deepdrawn”): This example illustrates the difference in draping behavior on surfaces of different Gaussian curvature. (Pat325) | PC, Unix | |
| Manufacturing Integration (“plyshape” & “springback”): This example uses geometry obtained from a CAD system to provide experience of a realistic geometry incorporating complex ply shapes. (Pat325) | PC, Unix |
