Hi,
i'm trying toi create a simple composite material.
I draw 2 cubes and I merged them.I have the same charateristic for both of them,the data of the fiber and the matrix and the orientation.I tried to create the composite material going on
composite layer manager--->create--->conventional shell (2 layers)
I filled all the field but i can't fill the region one...i donno why...may be thats not the right way to built it up a composite?
Thanks a lot

F.T. Romeo: You may purchase your own license and ABAQUS product from above link of Simulia's website or request a trial version. I doubt whether others will offer you to use their own softwares.

Thanks Mikael for the tip.

Go to assembly or to part and make a straight edge along the cylinder (you should be able to select a node on each circle to create this line). Now you can give this edge a coarser or finer seed, although the elements in the mesh will have a rather bad form if you make the difference in the mesh to large.
Seeding edges differently is also limited by the mesh control, but in this case it should work even for structured meshes.
Hi Mikael,
I went to the assebly and couldn't find any feature to draw a line along the cylinder. What is the special feature that can do that? Thanks.
