7. Verification of data
Since a large amount of input data is required for composites, you
should verify the data before proceeding with the solution. Several
commands are available for this purpose. Some of them are demon-
strated as follows:
EPLOT (Utility Menu> Plot> Elements) displays all
selected elements. Using the /ESHAPE,1 command (Utility
Menu> PlotCtrls> Style> Size and Shape) before EPLOT causes
shell elements to be displayed as solids with the layer thicknesses
obtained from real constants or section definition.
