Modeling Composites in Explicit dynamics. [Ansys]

Click For Summary
Modeling composites in Ansys for explicit dynamics can be challenging, especially when dealing with multilayer structures. Users suggest modeling the composite in Ansys Classic, meshing it, and then creating a macro file to import into Workbench for mesh definition. There is uncertainty about the effectiveness of this method, and guidance on executing it is limited. Many users have found YouTube examples helpful, but practical application remains unclear. Seeking advice from experienced users is essential for successfully modeling composites in this context.

Hello,
I am trying to model an explicit dynamics model in Ansys, to study impact of different objects. I cannot figure out how to model a composite with several layers in workbench.

I have been trying to achieve this for over a week now. I was told that I can model the composite in Ansys Classic, mesh it, and then write a macro file. then use the macro file in Workbench to define the mesh. I have no idea if this will work, or how to even do it.

I have seen several examples on youtube of composites, but not sure how to model one?

Thanks in advance,

Any idea? thx
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
