I am trying to generate the sandwich composite beam with three distinct layers in Mechanical APDL (Ansys). Please suggest me how to define section or a layer in Preprocessor for 3 different layers in my geometry. For all the layers, the material I am using is elastic with linear and isotropic properties.
Thank you !!
