Description

Writes a ply entity.

Inputs

id
The ID of the ply.
name
The name of the ply.
color
The color of the ply. Valid values are 1-64.
material_id
The ID of the material to assign to the ply. The material must already exist.
thickness1
The thickness of the ply.
orientation
The ply orientation angle, in degrees, relative to the element material coordinate system (-360 > orientation <= 360).
integration_points
The number of integration points through the ply thickness. The standard value is 3.
result_request
Flag indicating whether to request output results for the ply (0=no, 1=yes). The default value is 0 and input is not required.
thickness2
Ply thickness 2, valid only for ANSYS. The standard value is 0.
thickness3
Ply thickness 3, valid only for ANSYS. The default value is 0 and input is not required.
thickness4
Ply thickness 4, valid only for ANSYS. The default value is 0 and input is not required.
table_id
The ID of the table containing the drape information, valid only for OptiStruct.
