In this tutorial, you will build a kiteboard as instructed from defining the engineering and material data to modeling the lay-up and post-processing for analyzing potential weaknesses. The kiteboard is approximately 1.4 m x 0.4 m. The impact resistant edge, inserts, and curvature are ignored in this model, although the board has a small curvature. The lay-up consists of:
[-45, 0, 45°] carbon plain woven fabric
Foam core of variable thickness, max. 17.5 mm
[-45, 0, 45°] carbon plain woven fabric
Note: Results shown in this tutorial may differ slightly from the results displayed in your model.
