DOPTPRM, TMINPLY
Bulk Data Entry Defines the minimum ply thickness allowed for all plies of PCOMPs selected by DSIZE or DTPL design variable definitions.
Definitions
| Parameter | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TMINPLY | 0.0 ≤ Real ≤ min(Ti) | Should be smaller than the
minimum of all relevant Ti on the selected
PCOMPs. Check its compatibility with volume
constraint if applied. Note: For volume fraction calculation,
TMINPLY is not treated as none design
volume in the same way as T0 for regular
PSHELLs.
Buckling responses for composite structures may be considered for free-size and topology optimization when this parameter is non-zero. |
