Composite materials are created by combining two or more layered materials, each with different properties. These materials have become a standard for products that are both light and strong. Composites provide enough flexibility so products with complex shapes, such as boat hulls and surfboards, can be easily manufactured. Engineering layered composites involves complex definitions that include numerous layers, materials, thicknesses and orientations. The engineering challenge is to predict how well the finished product will perform under real-world working conditions. This involves considering stresses and deformations as well as a range of failure criteria. ANSYS Composite PrepPost provides all necessary functionalities for the analysis of layered composite structures. This tutorial has been divided to 11 sections. in order to get the best result please follow tutorials step by steps if you are beginners. The first section of this tutorial is an introduction to Ansys software and ACP tools. You will learn how to add ACP tools into project schematic and create very simple geometry. In the second section you will learn about tools inside ACP such as Draping, Rules, Rossete, Orientation. This section is crucial for everyone in order to continue tutorials. This section all tools explained step by step (PLEAEE DO NOT MISS THIS SECTION) In the third section, you will learn how to model T beam shape in ANSYS ACP and do stress Analsys. This is a good example for beginners to test their modelling skills in ACP software. Buckling is one of the important subject in composite material. Therefore, the whole section four is dedicated to this matter to find eigenvalue for simple composite plate ACP tool can be coupled with other ACT extensions such had honeycomb creator. In this section, you will learn how to create honeycombs and combine that with composite model in ACP. In the section sixth, seventh and eighth you will learn how to combine model with mechanical model and ACP. Three different mechanical examples have been solved with ACP and mechanical model in ANSYS workbench. DO NOT MISS SECTION 6 Sections 9, 10 and 11 are dedicated to fatigue, natural frequencies, failure such as rebounding, delamination and progressive failure. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO THESE SECTION WITHOUT DOING PREVIOUS SECTIONS IF YOU ARE BEGINNERS. This course has around 1800 students so far and I noticed some students skip the basic tutorials and jump to advanced examples then they complain that videos did not cover everything. In order to have the best of this course is better to start from basic and learn all the tools from section 1 to 5 then you would be able to create any model in ANSYS ACP. I hope you all enjoy this tutorials. Please send me message if you think anything can improve the quality of this course as I am updating course regularly.
