All
I have defined orthotropic material properties (along and across composite fibers), supplied them to Ansys ACP, defined structure of the composite and linked it with Ansys Mechanical (pictures attached). The question is what material properties were actually supplied to the Ansys Mechanical after ACP modification. I need to read and modify them to model such things like deterioration along the time.
Thanks a lot for help
To check the material properties that have been supplied from ACP to Ansys Mechanical, you can follow these steps:
You can also use the Material Table command in Ansys Mechanical to view a summary of the material properties for all materials in the model. To do this, go to the Results menu and select Material Table. This will open a table showing the material properties for all materials in the model, including the composite material that was defined in ACP.
Dear Suganth
Thank you for your answer. I have added command MPLIST,ALL to Ansys Mechanical and found that the same material properties were displayed like at the ACP input. It looks like ACP does not modify them.
Do you know why there are two same materials "1 TO" and "2 BY" supplied to Ansys Mechanical? Can I just modify them along time like non-composite materials using APDL command TB (https://www.mm.bme.hu/~gyebro/files/ans_help_v182/ans_cmd/Hlp_C_TB.html#tbelasticpec)? That would help to model material deterioration.
Thanks a lot
Marcin
