Hello
I am trying solid composite. For have bending results, I need 3 elements covering the thickness. Is there a way to apply 1 comp material to all the elements or do I have to create a material with 1/3 of the plies to have the total number of plies?
I think you are comparing the results at the centroid of the element with the values in the table in the manual. In the manual, they took the stress results from the centroid of elements 79 and 80 and then extrapolated them to the symmetry line. It's a bit of a hack but technically accurate.
