This window lets you define a shell as a composite shell, consisting of a number of different layers. The composite allows efficient modeling of thin composite materials which are subjected to structural, rather than shock type loading.
- New
Create a new shell layer definition.
- Modify
Modify an existing shell layer definition.
- Delete
Delete an existing shell layer definition.
- Review
Review the existing shell layer definition.
- Range
The J and K range of the shell to apply the selected layer definition.
- Velocity
