I am currently making a laminate but I want to know if the program analyzes it the way I think.
The laminate that I make is made up of 6 layers. However, layers 3, 4, and 5 are done simultaneously, I explain.
Layer one is applied and allowed to dry.
Layer two is done and allowed to dry.
Layers 3,4 and 5 are done together and allowed to dry.
Layer six is applied and allowed to dry.
This is the manufacturing process to make my composite material.
Is it correct for me to laminate by adding each of the layers separately? Should I introduce a sheet that is equivalent to layers 3, 4, and 5? Or does the program at the end assume that everything works together so those three layers are done at the same time?
The main question would be: Does the manufacturing process of my composite material matter in the analysis of physical properties? Or is it okay that even if 3 of the 6 layers are made at the same time, I must introduce them separately? These three layers made at the same time are a layer of fiberglass, a core mat, and another layer of fiberglass, for which a sandwich is generated.
