Hello everyone,
I want to apply solid46 element for a variable-thickness laminated plate in ANSYS. The plate is composed of 15 layers and the three top laminas shape the tapering edge only.
I have attached a picture of plate cross-section. However I have to mesh plate thickness other than its width for
obtaining more accurate results.
I have this question:
Is it possible to use solid46 for this plate and such discretization? If yes how?
I know either that solid46 has the ability to model multi-thickness laminated plates but I’m not sure it can do
what I’m concerned.
I’ll appreciate anyone who can help.
Hamid
