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 or laminates.

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, or sequence.
  • load-response - For load response/first ply failure analysis of laminate or sequence.
  • strength - For strength analysis of laminate or sequence.
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.

Examples

To analyze material with ID 1:
*compositeanalysis mats id=1 result=23d-behavior output=C:/temp/result.csv

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
