Question

Is it possible also to design smaller structural components such as GFRP angles in RF‑LAMINATE?


Answer:

In RF‑LAMINATE, it is also possible to design GFRP surfaces. The calculation method allows you to model GFRP surfaces very well, as the individual layer thicknesses of GFRP are very small (laminate theory).

You can also use RF‑LAMINATE for small surfaces as long as the mesh is sufficiently fine. For the calculation, the add-on module creates a special stiffness matrix based on the material properties and the individual layer thicknesses.
