Independent data for every ply
Resolve automatic, constituent-generated, or directly measured 3D properties independently for every physical ply.

Laminate
Analysis
A unified constituent-to-process-to-laminate reference. Generate or measure the three-dimensional property definition independently for every ply, solve optional heat, moisture, cure, and crystallization histories, assemble the multi-material laminate, and progress its selected failure models under mechanical and process loading.
Theory map
Models, equations, figures, and cross-referencesHygrothermal CLT and ABD
Transform ply stiffness, integrate A/B/D matrices, add environmental resultants, and recover through-thickness fields.
Open ABD theory →Failure, degradation, and redistribution
Evaluate selected criteria independently by ply, update damaged properties, and resolve equilibrium at the same load.
Open progressive theory →Properties and delamination
Assemble effective laminate properties and cohesive response for structural assessment.
Open delamination theory →Carpet plots, envelopes and optimization
Review the equations, fixed inputs, search construction and limits of the interactive Workbench. Distinguish these screening tools from compiled coupled analyses.
