Thus, it is not necessary to define orthotropic surfaces in this case. These modifications are considered automatically in load cases as well as load combinations for calculating internal forces and deformations, provided they are not deactivated manually.
Stiffness Modification of Standard Surfaces
In the "Edit Surface" dialog box, there is a new tab titled "Modify Stiffness" for the "Standard" and "Without Tension" surface types. Here, you can modify the elements of a stiffness matrix by defining the factors in the same way as in the case of orthotropic surfaces.
