PARAM, COMP2SHL

Bulk Data Entry Results of homogenization of composite properties.

Parameter Values Description
COMP2SHL <YES, NO, or BULK>
YES or blank
Results of homogenization of composite properties (equivalent shell and material, PSHELL and MAT2) will be printed in a descriptive form in the .out file.
NO (Default)
Echo of composite homogenization will not be printed.
BULK
Results of composite homogenization (equivalent PSHELL and MAT2) will be printed in a version corresponding to bulk data input in large field (long) format. This version can be cut and pasted directly into an OptiStruct input deck.

Comments

  1. The equivalent shell and materials represent composite properties as they are defined in the input deck. In optimization runs involving composites, OptiStruct internally adjusts and changes the composite properties. Such changes are not reflected in the equivalent shell results printed by this command.
