This option enables transfer of moldflow orientation data for short and long fiber reinforced composites to shell meshes for further structural analysis.

Several options are available to handle short fiber reinforced composite materials with the LS-DYNA application. The Envyo program supports *MAT_ANISOTROPIC_ELASTIC_PLASTIC (*MAT_157) and output of *ELEMENT_SHELL_COMPOSITE fields for the use of other arbitrary orthotropic material models in the LS-DYNA application. Support for *MAT_4A_MICROMEC (*MAT_215) is also available.

For more information about the handling of short fiber reinforced materials with *MAT_157, see [11], [16], [15], [10].
