Inspect a ply stack

8 plies · 1.000 mm total. Thickness is proportional in the section; line direction indicates angle, not a stress field.

Teaching illustration only. Controls change this diagram, not your database or Workbench simulation. Use the Workbench solver for stresses, failure and qualified comparisons.
