A sublaminate is a sequence of plies defined by fabrics and stackups with relative angles. This sublaminate can be used later in the lay-up definition. As with stackups, you can choose the sequence direction and symmetry. Refer to Symmetries for more information. Sublaminates can be exported to an ESAComp XML file format and converted to laminates in the process.
The Analysis tab is exactly the same as for a stackup. Refer to Analysis for information on the content of this tab.
Important: If the sublaminate definition uses stackups and symmetry, the stackup is not reversed in the ply sequence. For example, for a stackup S1 defined as [45,-45,0], and a sub-laminate defined with even symmetry and the stackup ([S1]s), the sub-laminate sequence is [45,-45,0,45,-45,0], not [45,-45,0,0,-45,45].
