What kind of problem do you have with this analysis ? Did you get any error message ?
 
multiple errors i used dynamic explicit to run the simulation but since composite behave diferently than metals i ahd to create laminate composite the result is unrealaistic i dont know where i am getting it wrong

 
Please post these errors here (paste their text or add screenshots) so that we can suggest a solution.
 
Excessive incremental rotation of the elements in element set ErrElemExcessIncrementalRotation-Step1.

There is only one element with excessive rotations

Abaqus/Explicit Analysis exited with an error - Please see the status file for possible error messages if the file exists.

i have revisited my mesh multiple times and changed mesh controls but no change
 
Start from finding this element (it was saved in internal set). Check all your interactions and boundary conditions.
 
everything seems to be on point yet the same problem persists
