Comments

  1. For composite properties, layer numbers start at 1 and increase numerically in the order defined in /PROP/TYPE9 (SH_ORTH), /PROP/TYPE10 (SH_COMP), /PROP/ TYPE11 (SH_SANDW), /PROP/TYPE16 (SH_FABR), /PROP/TYPE17 (STACK), /PROP/TYPE51, or /PCOMPP.
  2. For fully integrated BATOZ shells, Ishell=12, the output value is the average of the in-plane Gauss points.
  3. For /PROP/TYPE51 or /PCOMPP composite properties, if Keyword5 is not defined.

    If Keyword4=ALL, the result is output for all layers and the value per layer is the average value of the through thickness integration points in the layer.

    If Keyword4=LOWER, the result is the value of the first integration point of the first layer.

    If Keyword4=UPPER, the result is the value of the last integration point of the last layer.

  4. Keyword5 limitations:

    It can only be used with /PROP/TYPE51 or /PCOMPP composite properties and only if Keyword4=N, the layer number. However, Keyword4=ALL can be combined with Keyword5=ALL to output all layers and all integration points. If Keyword5=ALL, results for 10 integration points will be output, even if less integration points were defined in each layer and thus some results will be zero.
