PuckFailureTheory

Calculates the Puck Failure theory.

Inputs

elems
An element entity table.
parts
A part entity table.
props
A property entity table.
sets
A set table.
plies
A ply table.
xt
A material scalar table.
xc
A material scalar table.
yt
A material scalar table.
yc
A material scalar table.
s
A material scalar table.
layer_idx
A layer index.
tensor
An elemental tensor table.

Outputs

answer
An elemental value table.

Comments

  • xt: Allowable tensile stress in ply material direction 1.
  • xc: Allowable compressive stress in ply material direction 1.
  • yt: Allowable tensile stress in ply material direction 2.
  • yc: Allowable compressive stress in ply material direction 2.
  • s: Allowable in-plane shear stress.
  • tensor: Stress tensor table.
  • layer_idx = layer index for the chosen data type, assigned by the HyperWorks application, and defaults to the value “@current_slice_index”. @current_slice_index represents the layer index for the chosen datatype.
