3.4. Summary

In this tutorial, you reinforced the lay-up of a sailboat's deck to eliminate critical failures. You have learned how to:

  • Analyze failures using Failure Plots and Sampling Points

  • Use Selection Rules to define specific lay-up areas

  • Reuse Selection Rules as templates for a ply

  • Create a ply by adding data using Excel

  • Use short iterations of analyzing and modifying the lay-up to eliminate critical failures
