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 do the following in the Mechanical application:
Simulate a force on the model
Postprocess using Total Deformation
Generate a Normal Stress plot for individual Analysis Plies
Examine failure results of the entire Model and investigate where the structure fails
Modify legend settings to get a more accurate plot visualization
Additional Exercise: Reinforce the kiteboard to eliminate the critical failures by following the instructions in the Selection Rules Tutorial.
