1.4. Summary

In this tutorial, you modeled and analyzed a basic structure - the sandwich panel. You have learned the following:

  • How ACP handles lay-up orientations and reference directions (OSS)

  • The different hierarchies of plies (Modeling, Production, and Analysis Plies)

  • How to set up a combined failure criteria definition

  • How to create global failure plots

  • How to examine a through-the-thickness plot at a single point (using a Sampling Point)
