Usage

To use CLT Calculation for Python in a project:

import clt_py

or:

from clt_py import *

or any other format you prefer.

Setting up materials

# Matrix material:
matMat = IsotropicMaterial(rho=1, E=1, v=0.25)
# Fiber material:
matFib = AnisotropicMaterial(rho=2, v_para_ortho=0.25, E_para=10, E_ortho=2, G=3)

# Composite Material:
mat_FRM = FiberReinforcedMaterialUD(matFib=matFib, matMat=matMat)

Set up plies/layers

ply0 = Ply(mat_FRM, rotation=0, thickness=1)
plyP45 = Ply(mat_FRM, rotation=45, thickness=1)
plyN45 = Ply(mat_FRM, rotation=-45, thickness=1)

Arrange plies to laminate

laminate = Laminate()

laminate.addPly(plyP45)
laminate.addPly(ply0)
laminate.addPly(plyN45)

Output material data
