Syntax

*compositeanalysis entity_type <select_type>=<selection> result=<value> output=<value> ?ffunc=<value>? ?loaded=<value>?

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify Command

Description

Analyzes composite materials, plies, sequences, laminates, or elements.

Inputs

entity_type

The type of entity to modify.

<select_type>=<selection>

The entity or entities that are to be analyzed. There are several ways to provide the entities to be modified. Only one option can be used at a time:

id=<id>

The ID of the single entity to modify.

name=<name>

The name of the single entity to modify.

mark=<mark_id>

The ID of the mark containing the entities to modify.

result=<value>

The type of result. Valid values are:

• eng-const - For engineering constant analysis of material, ply, laminate, sequence, or element.
• load-response - For load response/first ply failure analysis of laminate, sequence, or element.
• strength - For strength analysis of laminate, sequence, or element.

output=<value>

The file name of the output .csv file.

ffunc=<value>

The design point method ID. Selected entity must have First_Ply_Failure defined as the method. Optional argument used in strength and FPF analysis.

loadid=<value>

The list of load entity IDs. Selected load entities must have “Composite plate” defined as the engineering type. Optional argument used in load response and FPF analysis.

loadcase=<value>

The list of strings identifying imported result, subcase, and simulation used as load. Optional argument used in load response and FPF analysis when analyzing elements.

Examples

*compositeanalysis mats id=1 result=23d-behavior output=C:/temp/result.csv

Errors

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
