Info
In case of anisotropic material stiffness and the directional dependent Tsai-Wu transversely isotropic Failure Criterion with huge material property differences for the in-plane directions and the build direction, as well for the maximum allowable tensile and compression strength, the optimisation may not give stable results. How to handle this here.
