/PROP/TYPE19 (PLY)

Block Format Keyword This property is used to define the ply property used in ply-based composite definition. It is used in combination with /PROP/STACK (/PROP/TYPE17) or /PROP/TYPE51 to create ply-based sandwich composite properties.

Comments

This ply property is used in combination with /PROP/TYPE17 (STACK) or /PROP/TYPE51 to create ply-based sandwich composite properties (stack). The compatibility to material law of this option is depend on its combination of /PROP/TYPE17 (STACK) and /PROP/TYPE51.
If both grsh4n_ID =0 and grsh3n_ID = 0, all elements in the part that reference this property belong to the ply.
The orthotropy angle is defined as follows from the reference vector (Composite Properties) defined in the stack:
$ϕ = ϕ_{s} + ϕ_{i} + Δ ϕ + θ_{d r a p e}$
Where,

$ϕ_{i}$

is defined per ply in stack

$ϕ_{s}$

is defined on the element

$∆ ϕ$

is defined on the ply

$ϕ_{d r a p e}$

is defined in the drape table
If drape_ID is defined in optional line, the angle of each element defined in the drape is incremented by /DRAPE, $θ_{d r a p e}$
and the thickness is modified by the ply thinning factor /DRAPE, Thinning.
