MSC/PATRAN Laminate MODELER 6.0-PAT325
1.0 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.
2.0 Composites Failure Criteria (“flatplate_res”): This example introduces the capabilities of the MSC/PATRAN LAMINATE MODELER for conducting composites failure analyses.
3.0 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.
4.0 Drape Analysis I (“drapeintro”): This example introduces the main features of draping using a simple but doubly-curved surface.
5.0 Drape Analysis II (“gausscurv” & “deepdrawn”): This example illustrates the difference in draping behavior on surfaces of different Gaussian curvature.
6.0 Manufacturing Integration (“plyshape” & “springback”): This example uses geometry obtained from a CAD system to provide experience of a realistic geometry incorporating complex ply shapes.
