The Layered Linear Elastic Material is only available for the Shell interface, but not for the Plate interface.
|
For a general description of this section, see Layer and Interface Selections in the documentation for the Composite Materials Module.

For Orthotropic no values for Ez, νyz, or νxz need to be entered due to the shell assumptions. It is also possible to define Transversely isotropic material properties.

For User defined Anisotropic a 6-by-6 symmetric matrix is displayed. Due to the shell assumptions, you only need to enter values for D11, D12, D22, D14, D24, D55, D66, and D56.

The material orientation is always interpreted in a laminate coordinate system aligned with the shell boundary as described in Local Coordinate Systems together with the orientation of each layer specified on a layered material.
