ACP Background
ANSYS Composite PrepPost (ACP) is an add-on module to existing ANSYS Composite PrepPost (ACP) is an add-on module to existing structural solver licenses (Professional and above) dedicated to the modeling of layered composite structures.
First introduced in v12 it has gone through many updates and now First introduced in v12 it has gone through many updates and now incorporates seamlessly with Workbench at v14.5

Typical ACP Usage
A shell element model is developed in Mechanical A shell element model is developed in Mechanical Meshing shell geometry, applying loads and boundary
conditions. Can be in ANSYS Mechanical or Mechanical APDL Define materials (Engineering Data, or APDL)
Import the models in ANSYS Composite PrepPost Define Composite Fabrics:
Fabric: a material and a thickness Laminate: an assembly of fabrics (with orientations) Sublaminates: an assembly of fabrics and laminates (with
orientations) Define the element orientation (so as to properly orient
materials) Define the ply sequence for groups of elements (usually
corresponding to faces of the geometry)corresponding to faces of the geometry) Solve the model - computed by the standard ANSYS
solver, in batch mode. Post-process the results in ACP: deformations,

Post process the results in ACP: deformations, thicknesses and failure criteria.

Composite Materials
In Engineering Data there is now a In Engineering Data, there is now a composite materials library. Show Libraries
Material does not need to be assigned toMaterial does not need to be assigned to bodies in Mechanical. Material assignment is done in ACP.
All materials in Engineering Data are ate a s g ee g ata a ebrought into ACP.

Solving and Post-processing
Once the model is setup in APC(Pre) it can be linked to whatever type of Once the model is setup in APC(Pre) it can be linked to whatever type of analyses you need to solve:
Then connect ACP(Post) to the Solution of that analysis.Then connect ACP(Post) to the Solution of that analysis.

Parametric Modeling of Composites
Since ACP is integrated into Workbench the composite data from ACP will Since ACP is integrated into Workbench, the composite data from ACP will be updated with any parameter changes in WB.
Example below shows parametric changes of doubler width shown in red.

Traditional shell approaches can not account for interlaminar normal stress (shown in blue curve)(shown in blue curve)
ANSYS Composite PrepPost can predict these base on the work of Roos, Kress, & Ermanni

Advanced ACP Capabilities
Fiber orientation prediction and modification Fiber orientation prediction and modification. Use internal ACP draping simulation to compute orientation changes due to
geometry curvature, develop flat pattern. Interface with Vistagys FiberSimInterface with Vistagy s FiberSim. Modify the fiber orientation to something that is actually observed on the
manufacturing floor through alignment with local rosettes.

Advanced ACP Capabilities
3D Solid Modeling: 3D Solid Modeling: If a composite part is thick and bulky a shell mesh may not be sufficient to
predict accurate results. One of ACP(Pre) strengths is that the 2D shell mesh can be extruded into a 3DOne of ACP(Pre) strengths is that the 2D shell mesh can be extruded into a 3D
solid model. CAD support: STEP and IGES geometries can be imported to define thick
cores or use as guides for 3D extrusions. R14 Improved solid model extrusion, transitioning, and drop-off capabilities
