ABAQUS

[ABQS]

Hi, please i want to ask how can i represent a composite with 24 layers on abaqus?
When i draw a part(solid deformable with 24 cell paritions) and i associate the properties of a lamina for evry parition with a mesh 3d stress (Hex structured), there will be always the same error "lamina may not used with solid section".
Can i draw a deformable solid standard part and use a standard mesh continuum Shell (hex sweep)?
what i must use to associate the righ properties to my part : creat composite layup or creat section (Shell composite),
thank you.

Dear ABQS,

your question is quite fuzzy. I'd recommend you to read the Abaqus documentation on composite layups. On the website of Simulia there are also some webinars on composite modelling.

Afterwards, if you restate your question more clearly, I'll try to answer.

Best regards

dear deyentl,
thx I saw the Abaqus documentation and I want to ask, if any one knw how I can represent and associat the ideal mesh for a composite with several layers (type of matriel is : lamina) on ABAQUS (ie : creat section shell composite or creat a solid layup composite and associat it a 3D stress or continuum shell mesh.
Any idea? thanks in advance...

dear all,
Any one have an idea? ie can I creat a solid composite layup ant associat to it a continium shell mesh?
thx
