Hi,
Does anybody have any idea whether we need to give laminate properties or lamina properties while modelling the composite as a solid model? I modeled a composite using the solid and material orientation section in abaqus. I want to know whether we need to give lamina properties in the material properties section or laminate? Actually, I think we give the material properties directly from an experiment. Is that right?
I gave laminate since I think it considers the model at all but I have doubt.
Thanks
1. Define material properties using Lamina in Edit Material - Mechanical → Elasticity → Elastic - Type: Lamina
2. Use the composite layup option to provide no of the layer, stacking direction and rotation angle in the composite.
here is a video tutorial on composite modeling using solid elements.

Hey Ronald. Do you work with abaqus? Whats are your interests?
hey, torkan. i am working with abaqus for about 10 years and mainly in shell buckling.

Ronald Heinz Norbert WagnerSubscribed. I hope we can have a collaboration
You need to give homogenized material properties i.e laminate properties if you are using a solid model. However, if you use continuum shell elements you can give layerwise lamina properties for a model with thickness.
