Composites material and CFRP modeling

[yvanblanchard]

Hello,

Is it possible using this library to model CFRP structures, I mean assigning variable fiber directions (orientation card) and laminate/plies properties + orthotropic materials ?

Thank you

Hi, yes, this should be possible. Orientation as well as orthotropic material is available. Look at class Orientation and class Elastic Have also a look at the CoordinateSystem class, which can be used to create, move and rotate coordinate systems. These coordinate systems can then be passed to the class method Orientation.from_coordinate_system(cs) to create an Orientation object.
