I really appreciate the effort to help.
That method will not work for us. It would be better for us to compute the stiffness in a hand calc knowing the location of the materials in the cross section relative to the axis. Keep in mind that we are interested in stiffness in 3 directions...
Good suggestion...I guess that's one way you could do it. However, that's pretty inaccurate, and really only works for simple structures of uniform material properties. We would eventually need to get shear centers, torsional stiffness, etc, and we are dealing with numerous cross sections, so...
We are trying to extract the CROSS SECTIONAL properties about a center axis of an arbitrary hollow shape with shell element laminate. We want the stiffness properties as if looking down the center axis (like looking down a wing), not the properties on the outside face (on top of the wing). An...
I appreciate the effort to suggest some work arounds, however, we deal with much more than dimensions and simple items. Layers are required for cutting machine definition, nesting software, etc, and the layer utilization has to be a seamless process where one can universally define the...
Hello,
I am an experienced autocad user, where layer utilization is key to our line of work. I am having difficulty utilizing the layers in Solidedge 2d. I need to have objects assigned on layers and color coded, so that I can easily recognize what is on each layer. However, I am only able...
