Parameters

Name: Type: System String
The name of an existing shell-type area property that is specified to be a layered shell property.

NumberLayers: Type: System Int32
The number of layers in the area property.

LayerName: Type: System String
This is an array that includes the name of each layer.

Dist: Type: System Double

Thickness: Type: System Double
This is an array that includes the thickness of each layer. [L]

MyType

Type:

System Int32
This is an array that includes 1, 2 or 3, indicating the layer type.

Value	Type
1	Shell
2	Membrane
3	Plate

NumIntegrationPts: Type: System Int32
The number of integration points in the thickness direction for the layer. The locations are determined by the program using standard Guass-quadrature rules.

MatProp: Type: System String
This is an array that includes the name of the material property for the layer.

MatAng: Type: System Double

S11Type

Type:

System Int32
This is an array that includes 0, 1 or 2, indicating the material component behavior.

Value	S11Type
0	Inactive
1	Linear
2	Nonlinear

S22Type

Type:

System Int32
This is an array that includes 0, 1 or 2, indicating the material component behavior.

Value	S22Type
0	Inactive
1	Linear
2	Nonlinear

S12Type

Type:

System Int32
This is an array that includes 0, 1 or 2, indicating the material component behavior.

Value	S12Type
0	Inactive
1	Linear
2	Nonlinear

Return Value

Returns zero if the parameters are successfully assigned; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.

The function returns an error if the specified area property is not a shell-type property specified to be a layered shell.
