How to write import file to describe the layups of sandwich composite

  1. Anxin Ding

    Hello, 

       I  am calculating the equivalent properties of sandwich composites using  desktop version of SwiftComp. I wrote the import file text to describe the layups and their layups and material ID based on the Gmsh4SC manual, see below. However, every time when I  imported file, Swiftcomp collapsed  immediately.
