Dear All,
I'm working on a project where I have a composite model which includes PCOMP elements in combination with CQUAD4 mesh. The PCOMP element defines the lay-up referring to MAT8 material properties. When I run a linear static SOL 101 I find really small value's for stress and strain in the XZ direction for all layers (inter laminar).
When I check the manual it seems there would be some possibility to compute those values with PCOMP elements. Or are 3D elements required?
Or is a SOL 400 required? I don't have that license so I cannot check it.
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards,
HTim
