Results Processing
Recovering Results by Global Layer
Conventional systems present stresses on the basis of a particular layer on individual elements. If any element is reversed, or there are ply drop-offs on the surface, the produced results cannot be interpreted meaningfully.
In contrast, the MSC.Laminate Modeler rearranges analysis results stored in the database so that they refer to global layers defined in the layup spreadsheet. This means that the results for a physically meaningful piece of fabric are presented together. This is a unique capability for the majority of codes that store composite data on the basis of laminate materials.
Example of a Top Hat Section
Fringe plots for stresses along the fibres are presented for global layers 1, 17, 21 and 33 for the top-hat section model. Using conventional post-processors, this would give misleading results due to the variation of layup over the model. In contrast, all stresses presented here are continuous, indicating that the correct results have been grouped for each global layer.
