ProComposite

Does anyone use ProComposite and is it worth learning to model with it?
Pros vs Cons.Or, is it just as easy to model a solid and add a Ply
table and 2D sketch in a drawing to show ply detail?

 

I think that one of the things you get with Pro/composite is fiber direction of
ply layers. How would you do proper structural analysis and get an accurate idea
of stiffness without this? I'm sure there are techniques based on experience,
probably ply tables and these will probably work fine until you get to some fairly
complex shapes. Then you'd like to be able to do the Mechanica simulation, check
the results and see if turning the fiber angle 10 degrees or adding plies changes
the result and repeat this simulation a few times to get it optimized. That's the
kind of stuff you get with the specialized packages and the fact that they all
work together in Pro/e.
