ansys/ls-dyna and composite

[nanemo]

Hallo to everyone,

first of all, forgive my English!!!

I have to simulate an impact test involving composite FRP materials, in Ansys Explicit ED. version, but I'm afraid shell 163 composite option can't be used (non composite option =0 by default)
What kind of element type should I use for it?
Anyone fixed the problem?


tnx 4 your answers, regards

You can't sent this keyopt to a value of 1?

 

[nanemo]

I can, but layer real costant options (beta angle, mat id)do not appear anyway

 

[nanemo]

tnx Stringmaker, by the way , an help for mat prop settings? :-D
