ANSYS: How to display in lamina coordinates as opposed to global. Using RSYS, SOLU (in menus: Main Menu>General Postproc>Options for Outp) From ANSYS help: RSYS, KCN Activates a coordinate
2012-01-30 ANSYS MODELLING:
In most cases it is not a good idea to use solid elements to model a thin walled beam (such as an I beam). Better use shell elements. Even better is don't use FEA at all. Beam theory for composite thin
2012-01-24 design of zero CTE composite panels:
It is true. Depending of the fiber volume, you can make it zero or negative in one direction for one lamina. Using a laminate you can make it very low, but unlikely zero in all directions. You can
2012-01-20 composite materials:
A randomly oriented lamina needs only 2 moduli, E and Poisson's ratio PR, to describe its behavior in the plane of the laminate. Do not use orthotropic material description Ey,Ez,PRxy,PRyz,PRxz,Gxy,Gyz

There are 3 parts to this answer. a) Resins are usually multi component systems but it is not necessary to consider them separately in the mechanical design. For example, clay might be added to reduce
