Hi all,

I am facing a problem with a user defined failure criterion for laminate modeler. I did my failure criterion based on the example I have found in the Patran documentation. I can compile it successfully but if I try to use it Patran message tells I need to define other functions.

I changed function "user" in the class "p3CM_create_res_fail_user" by adding it to library "laminate_modeler.plb"

It seems I have to define functions "name", "relevant_cols" and "check_mat_allow_valid" within the same class.

Does anyone know where I could find examples on these functions? I have no idea how to define them. Was someone successful doing this?

thank you
