Anyone out there that is using the advanced shells and laminates in mechanica for composites? I would like to chat if there is. There is almost no information on this on PTC's web site and support does not know to much.

With some experiments I can say that the results from Mechanica using advanced shell (laminates) is pretty good. The material properties I used were derived as well as from the mfg. I did a validation test this morning and was only 2-3% off from predicted deflection so I am happy now. FYI the laminate was a sandwich with CF in several directions etc.
