I would like to convert PSHELL/MAT2 cards generated by a PCOMP card (CSA NASTRAN) into a form like stress = stiffness * strain in order to compare the stiffness matrix with an ABD matrix from laminate theory. Does anyone know how to generate a stress/strain relationship from information on a PSHELL/MAT2 cards?
