Parameters
----------
thickness
A Float specifying the thickness of the section layer.
region
A Region object specifying the region to which the composite ply applies.
material
A String specifying the name of the material for the ply.
plyName
A String specifying the ply identifier for this section layer. The default value is an
empty string.
orientationType
A SymbolicConstant specifying the method used to define the relative orientation. If
*orientationType*=SPECIFY_ORIENT the *orientationValue* argument is required. If
*orientationType*=CSYS the *orientation* argument is required. Possible values are CSYS,
SPECIFY_ORIENT, ANGLE_0, ANGLE_45, ANGLE_90, and ANGLE_NEG45. The default value is
ANGLE_0.
thicknessType
A SymbolicConstant specifying the method used to define the thickness. If
*thicknessType*=SPECIFY_THICKNESS, the *thickness* argument is required. Possible values
are SPECIFY_THICKNESS, FIELD_THICKNESS, and ANALYTICAL_FIELD_THICKNESS. The default
value is SPECIFY_THICKNESS.
orientationValue
A Float specifying the relative orientation of the section layer. The default value is
0.0.
thicknessField
A String specifying the name of the AnalyticalField or DiscreteField object used to
define the thickness of the shell elements and composite ply. The *thicknessField*
argument applies when *thicknessType*=ANALYTICAL_FIELD or *thicknessType*=DISCRETE_FIELD
for shell elements and *thicknessType*=FIELD_THICKNESS or
*thicknessType*=ANALYTICAL_FIELD_THICKNESS for composite ply. The default value is an
empty string.
numIntPts
An Int specifying the number of integration points to be used through the section layer.
This argument is valid only if *preIntegrate*=OFF. The default value is 3.
axis
A SymbolicConstant specifying the axis of a cylindrical or spherical datum coordinate
system about which an additional rotation is applied. For shells this axis is also the
shell normal. The *axis* argument applies only if a valid reference is provided for the
*orientation*. Possible values are AXIS_1, AXIS_2, and AXIS_3. The default value is
AXIS_1.
angle
A Float specifying the angle of the additional rotation. The *angle* argument applies
only if a valid reference is provided for the *orientation*. The default value is 0.0.
additionalRotationType
A SymbolicConstant specifying the method used to describe the additional rotation when a
valid orientation is specified. Use *orientationType*=ANGLE_0 and
*additionalRotationType*=ROTATION_FIELD to specify a discrete field of rotations for
this CompositePly. Possible values are ROTATION_NONE, ROTATION_ANGLE, and
ROTATION_FIELD. The default value is ROTATION_NONE.
orientation
The SymbolicConstant None or a DatumCsys object specifying a coordinate system reference
for the relative orientation of this layer. The default value is None.
additionalRotationField
A String specifying the name of the field specifying the additional rotation. The
default value is an empty string.
Returns
-------
A CompositePly object.
Raises
------
AbaqusException.
