Losing group variables when removing/importing FEM

<< < (2/2)

Phil:
Laminate are different from other materials in that they can be set for specific components during the automated sequencing process.

It appears that when you remove your FEM, HyperSizer is removing all laminates even though they aren't associated with particular components.

Then, it won't let you assign any laminates unless you have at lease one component in the model.  This is something that can be fixed, but the fix won't be immediate.

The best workarounds I can think of:
a) assign your laminates back to groups after your import your model
b) before removing the FEM, store all of your groups (store group design for project) and then after importing the FEM, retrieve the group designs.

trelau:
I think I have a couple temporary fixes. First, I have a separate database for this particular project so I can set the desired failure modes and then save those settings as the database defaults.

Instead of assigning laminates I'll create assemblies and use the composites form to design laminates. I was going to do this anyway, but it would be nice if I could specify laminates just to get the whole environment running.

Thanks,
Trevor
