Hi to everybody,
i'm trying to perform a simple contact test with a cantilevered beam with a stopping bar (see the picture).
This test works well for isotropic material, but in the case of laminated composite (plyes are orthotropic 2d) the contact doesn't works and plate goes down over the contact surface.
Settings are the same of isotropic except material and property.
You can find the bdfin the attachment.
Anyone can help me? Thanks.
