Realizes a laminate to create solver entities (properties, components, and so on) for updating layer information.

These additional steps must be followed to complete laminate realization specific to the list user profile.

ANSYS: Valid ET types like shell91/shell99/shell131/shell181 should be attached to component.
Abaqus: Assign a composite property to all the elements before realization.
OptiStruct/Nastran: Assign a PCOMPP property to all the elements before realization.

laminate_id: The ID of the laminate to be realized.
drape_flag: 0 - Do not consider drape data during realization; 1 - Include drape data during realization
thickness_tol: The tolerance value for thickness during realization. Valid only used if drape_flag is set to 1.
orientation_tol: The tolerance value for orientation angle during realization. Valid only used if drape_flag is set to 1.
