7.6. Summary

In this tutorial, you built a complete kiteboard from configuring the data and modeling to solving and post-processing. You have applied the basic knowledge of the process from earlier tutorials and learned how to:

  • Simulate a force on the model in Mechanical

  • Post-process in Mechanical using Total Deformation and Composite Failure Tool

  • Generate stress plots and failure plots for individual Analysis Plies in ACP (Post)

  • Examine stress and failure results of individual model elements in ACP (Post)

  • Modify legend settings to get a more accurate plot visualization in ACP (Post)

Additional Exercise: Reinforce the kiteboard to eliminate the critical failures by following the instructions in the Selection Rules Tutorial.

For more information on using ACP in Ansys Workbench, see Implementation in Workbench in the ACP User's Guide. For ACP terms and concepts, see Guide for ACP Terminology in the ACP User's Guide.
