9 ESAComp Data Bank Layered Composite Solutions Material data delivered with ESAComp Types of Materials Fibers Matrix materials Reinforced plies Core materials Adhesives Open Library Material data can also be stored on Company and User levels Advanced features: Statistical data from tests can be stored 8

10 ESAComp Design Database Database levels Data Bank (locked) Company (shared) User (personal) Company Level Library of company verified material data Sharing of project data Design Library Templates Past projects Layered Composite Solutions 9

11 ESAComp Analysis Capabilities Micromechanics analyses for deriving ply properties from fiber and matrix data Laminate level analyses for stiffness, strength, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, Numerous composite failure criteria Plate, beam, joint and notched laminate analyses Probabilistic analyses for studying the effect of varying material properties, layer orientations or loads Moisture diffusion and other specialized analyses 10

12 ESAComp Design Capabilities Trade-off studies Material selection Structural concept selection Laminate lay-up design For desired laminate properties For desired behavior of a structural element Dimensioning of structures Stiffener spacing, beam crosssection, joint overlap, fastener spacing, Efficient engineering environment Quick modification and duplication of objects Graphical result displays Layered Composite Solutions 11

13 ESAComp ResultSets 3D resultviewer: Contour plots forreserve factor, displacements and loads Failure labels Detailed element through the thickness analysis Failure envelopes, carpet plots and polar plots Available failure criteria: Puck, Max Stress, Max Strain, Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, Hashin, Hoffmann Von Mises, Max Shear stress, Out ofplane shear, Rohacell Sandwich Wrinkling

18 ANSYS Composite PrepPost Preprocessing Pre Processing Material Properties Mat. Reference Direction Ply-Wise Approach Prediction of Manufacturability ANSYS ACP Pre Mapping coordinate systems to one reference path automatic conversion of modeling data to simulation data draping simulation and support for automated manufacturing

19 ANSYS Composite PrepPost Postprocessing Post Processing Composite failure criteria Efficient results interpretation Design optimization Ply-wise post processing Estimation for delamination ANSYS ACP Post one figure per element is plotted, which reveals the safety level at the most critical layer evaluation of different failure criteria over different load cases at same time failure mechanism and layer orientation is plotted for decision making visualization based on physical plies

20 Selection Rules Layered Composite Solutions Key Features for Composites Preprocessing Selection rules provide practical means to reselect group of elements for which the physical plies are applied Cartesian Cylindrical Spherical Tube Cut off rule

21 Key Features for Composites Preprocessing Cutting Rules Tube rule: Rule defined by a circle swept along an edge set. Cut-off rule: Cut the plies when they intersect an imported CAD surface. Example how to suppress plies overlapping

22 Key Features for Composites Preprocessing Concept of oriented element-sets; user can define material application direction and material 0 direction Multiple oriented element-sets can be overlapping and differently oriented allowing for unique possibility of easy asymmetric laminate definition

23 Key Features for Composites Preprocessing Parallel, radial, cylindrical, edge wise and spherical rosette (coordinate systems) as basis for definition of material reference direction Concept of oriented element-sets; user can define material reference direction and ply orientation with respect to that One or several rosettes are assigned to an oriented element-set which avoids need for ply-subdivision
