May I ask how you use Calculix for composite analysis?
Is there a good GUI to use on a .stp file or will it require high level coding?
Also have you had any experience using code_aster for composites? Is it viable as a tool to model a small aircraft entirely made of composites?

Hi all,
I am trying to arrive on a tool to use for FEM of an aeronautical structure.
My company is quite small and thus has a limited budget so we are trying to avoid software such as Nastran, Ansys, Hyperworks, etc
So far the best I have found that allows for laminate modeling is Mecway using...
Hi SWComposites
I am not sure tha'ts the correct approach in my current situation.
I have calculated the ultimate load cases of the fuselage and have frozen baseline for it that i just need to be just need to be below failure.
The fuselage has a complicated aerodynamic shape with several...
Hi All
I am new to composite FEA and currently trying to build a full composite fuselage.
I need to optimize if force weight and am currently struggling with finding any type of methodology to do so.
Do you guys have anything that works wells for you?
I try for example to create a laminate...
