Composites Overview
33
Composites offer tremendous weight savings, increased performance, and design flexibility
The composites market is a relatively young, fast growing and technologically evolving market
Designing parts with these materials can be challenging without appropriate tools
ANSYS develops tools to thoroughly investigate composites designs up to advanced failure analysis, with unparalleled ease of use.

Lets start with the workflow in ANSYS Workbench for incorporating composites in a typical design:
Composite PrepPost integrated into Workbench workflow Upstream changes in design propagate through to the results In this example we might look at sensitivity of geometry size, shape or layups to deformation, natural frequencies, and failure margin
