Composites Design

New Functionalities

Grid Approach
A new process is implemented with a set of new commands. This process enables a better link between stress analysis and composite design by taking into consideration structural elements (such as stiffeners, strings, frames, etc…) during composite design.
Solid Approach
Lets you create plies by slicing a solid.
Junction Lines Assistant
Add material to ply
Adds material to plies, to solve manufacturing constraints.
Merge Stackings
Allows you to take composites information from one stacking from another part in the assembly and to transfer all of them to the current part.

Enhanced Functionalities

Manufacturing Part
It can be created As Result, increasing performances and reducing the size of the data.
Skin Swapping
A new option Wrap Curve lets you transfer plies contours using a deformation based on wrapping curves.
A new option Unfold provides a complete flatten view of the Composite plies.
3D Multisplice
A new option Curve Selection from 2D allows the  selection of curve/lines in flattened view of ply to splice it.
A new Repeat option restarts staggering step after n steps (n is specified by the user).
Filtering can be done through material or through orientation filter.
