The LamiGeo app generates a laminate structure.

Clicking Edit opens the LamiGeo Parameters dialog.

Parameters

The following parameters have to be defined before running the GeoApp:

• Result File Name,
• Voxel Length,
• Domain Width in X- and Y-direction,
• Number of Layers,
• Matrix Material,
• Fiber Material,
• if the overlap should be removed (No Fiber Overlap) or not,
• Isolation Distance, in case the overlap is removed,
• Fiber Layer Height for each layer,
• how much Fiber Layer Coating should be generated in Z-direction around the fibers,
• Fiber Diameter ,
• Fiber Solid Volume Percentage within the layers without the coating,
• and the Fiber Waviness as angle around the fiber orientation direction, where positive values lead to slightly curved fibers.

Clicking Run starts the structure generation process. First, the Enter Layer Angles dialog appears, where the Fiber Angles in the defined layers can be given. The generation process finishes after clicking on OK.

When the structure generation is finished, the Result Viewer of the result file (*.gdr) opens automatically.

Results

The Results - Report tab displays a short report about the resulting structure.
