Results Evaluation
Composite laminates are defined on boundaries together with a layered material attached to them. As composite laminates are in general anisotropic, and in general heterogeneous in the through-thickness direction, evaluating results on the reference surface alone is usually not sufficient. You will need to evaluate results in each layer, as well as in the through-thickness direction.
In addition to the standard result presentation tools, COMSOL Multiphysics offers specialized methods for evaluating and plotting results in composite laminates:
•
Layered Material Dataset
•
Layered Material Slice Plot
•
Through Thickness Plot
•
Special Variables and Operators
