Title: Global Ply ID Definition Method?
Post by: khender on May 06, 2016, 03:38:25 PM
Is there a way in HyperSizer to create laminates that are linked together by global ply IDs?

That way if the ply family stackup ends up being changed slightly you'd only have to modify one ply instead of going into every single laminate affected.  I know you can use Hyper laminates to maintain an overall ply family sequence and only turn off certain ones, but I couldn't tell if they were linked at all.

Thanks.

I think you're asking about laminate families.
See: http://hypersizer.com/help_7.2/#Materials/Dl/dl-laminate_family.php?Highlight=families

Also, the laminate sequencing feature will create global ply sequences for the assembly.
