Exercise 1: Kinematic Draping for a Woven Ply Modeled with Two UDs

A dome is covered by a fabric. The fabric is idealized with two uni-directional plies. This method allows the material to be a simple, orthotropic, uni-directional ply level model. If the ply was modeled as a single woven ply, the material model would be anisotropic and vary spatially as the angle between the warp and weft directions changed. Nominal thickness of the uni-directional plies is 0.5 * woven thickness.

This exercise uses the dome.hm file, which can be found in the hm.zip file. Copy the file from this directory to your working directory.
