Dear Kiwi team,
I wonder if it is possible to use orthotopic material properties as input in Kiwi. (different values than the defined “wood” input in the material defaults component)
Thanks in advance!
In general, it is possible but the option is hidden as there is no control of the direction yet. The material is aligned to the isoline in u-direction.
In order to access orthotropic material, you can add a panel and two values for the youngs modulus. The shear modulus goes to A.
PS: the wood default is also isotropic
