This tutorial is divided into two main parts. The first part walks you through defining input parameters based on the modeling plies in ACP (Pre) and output parameters based on the loads and failures in Mechanical and ACP (Post) to evaluate different design points of the model. The second part guides you to define a custom input parameter using Selection Rules to reinforce the model.

The predefined lay-up consists of 6 x 0° 0.254 mm woven fabric. The boundary conditions and loads have already been defined. There are two load steps: a bending load and a torsional load.
