You can add or edit a Main Stacking Sequence.
Note:
You cannot
- Remove a layer from a Main Stacking Sequence.
- Change the layer material or orientation in a Main Stacking Sequence.
- Modify the layers order in a Main Stacking Sequence.
-
Click Add MSS Laminate.
Notes:
- The laminate name must be unique.
- All laminate color indices must be unique.
- You cannot switch a laminate to a stacking sequence.
A laminate is added.
-
Select a laminate and click Edit MSS Laminate.
Notes:
- You can modify the orientations of an existing laminate, or specify the
orientations of a laminate you have added as explained above.
- When adding or editing a laminate, you can only add or remove orientations
without adding a layer to the Main Stacking Sequence.
- The laminate name must be unique.
- All laminate color indices must be unique.
- You cannot switch a laminate to a stacking sequence.
-
In the dialog box, click Add/Remove Orientation.
The laminate orientations are updated accordingly.
-
Select a line in the table and click Add Layer.
Notes:
- You can add a layer at any position in the Main Stacking Sequence, above
the selected line. If you have not selected a line, the layer is added at the end
of the table.
- If defined for one line, the layer name must be defined for all and be
unique.
- If defined for one line, the layer level must be defined for all and be a
numerical value (0 by default).
- Material ID and orientations must correspond to existing ones in model.
- You can create a layer without associated laminates, provided the Main Stacking Sequence
contains at least one layer with at least one associated laminate.
-
Specify the layer attributes in the dedicated dialog box.
-
Select a layer and click Edit Layer.
Notes:
- You can modify the sequence name, the level and the laminates, not the material
nor the orientation.
- If defined for one line, the layer name must be defined for all and be
unique.
- If defined for one line, the layer level must be defined for all and be a
numerical value (0 by default).
-
If no Main Stacking Sequence
exists yet:
-
Click Add Layer.
- A layer is created without laminate.
- A Main Stacking Sequence is created.
-
Click Add MSS Laminate to associate a Main Stacking Sequence laminate
to the created layer.
-
Click Add/Remove Orientation to complete the laminate
definition.
A first laminate is added to the layer.
-
Add laminates as required.
-
Click Remove MSS.
Available only if at least one Main Stacking Sequence with one
layer exists.
The Main Stacking Sequence is
removed.
If plies had been generated before the modifications of the Main Stacking Sequence, update is done
as follows after validation of the Composites Parameters:
- The grid definition is automatically updated.
- Edit the virtual stacking and select Recomputation from Grid in
the Tools Palette. Validate the modifications.
- An update of the plies group is proposed.
- Plies generation is started.
- Validate the plies generation.
