II.0.1 Remarks and limitations

One presents below a list of limitations, which should not be considered as exhaustive:

1.

When a mechanical loading is applied to a laminate, this loading is also characterized by an angle $\lambda$ giving the orientation of the loading wrt the laminate. Then the definition of the loading angle $\lambda$ follows the same conventions as the ply angle $\xi$ represented in Figure II.1.2. This convention for the definition of loading angle may be different of conventions used in other software. For example, ESAComp seems to consider that the angle provided for loading is the angle of the laminate wrt loading. This results in a change of sign of the corresponding angle.

2.

As the composite classes are under development, modifications of ruby functions related to the composite classes are still possible (and likely).
