Laminate Improvements in Simcenter Femap 2022 2 Webinar

Laminate Improvements in Simcenter Femap 2022.2 Webinar | New Layup Manager, Ply Material Manager & Multi-Layup Editing Welcome to Swoosh Technologies! In this webinar, we walk through the biggest laminate workflow improvements in Simcenter Femap 2022.2, focused on making composite layup definition faster, cleaner, and far easier to manage at scale. If you’ve ever struggled with repetitive ply edits, inconsistent thickness updates, or limited visibility across multiple layups, these updates are built to remove that friction. You’ll see how the rebuilt Layup Manager, the new Ply Material Manager, and the enhanced Multi-Layup Editor work together to streamline day-to-day composite modeling. From direct cell editing (to reduce manual update errors) to side-by-side editing of multiple layups, Femap 2022.2 makes it significantly easier to iterate on designs, keep laminate “families” organized, and apply changes consistently across skins and linked layups. We also touch on analysis-related improvements—such as retained CLT damage softening capabilities—and discuss advanced options like API-based layer control for users building automated composite workflows.
