How to model laminated plates and beams

Post by brokenpike »

How would one go about stacking the lamina in a curved laminated plate? I have found some journal articles that make it appear that this is possible with Elmer but my inspection of the documentation has been fruitless. A pointer to sample code or the best section of the documentation would be appreciated. I would like to create a (curved) ply, stack copies of the ply and then orient the material axis of each ply.
