In this tutorial, you reinforced the lay-up of a sailboat's deck to eliminate critical failures. You have learned how to:
Use Selection Rules to define specific lay-up areas
Reuse Selection Rules as templates for a ply
Create a ply by adding data using Excel
Use the Mechanical application to:
Analyze failures using Failure Plots and Sampling Points
Use short iterations of analyzing and modifying the lay-up to eliminate critical failures
