• Key Concepts: 
  Ply layup is a feature of the MFG-CAM SAP Complex Assembly Manufacturing component. It allows users to define the order in which layers of material are laid up in a composite part. This feature is used to ensure that the part is built with the correct orientation and strength. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the ply layup feature, users must first define the layers of material that will be used in the part. This can be done by specifying the type of material, thickness, orientation, and other properties. Once the layers have been defined, users can then specify the order in which they should be laid up. This can be done manually or by using a predefined template. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the ply layup feature, it is important to consider how each layer will interact with the others. For example, if two layers are laid up in opposite directions, they may not bond properly and could lead to a weaker part. Additionally, it is important to consider how each layer will affect the overall strength and stiffness of the part. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The ply layup feature is closely related to other features of MFG-CAM SAP Complex Assembly Manufacturing such as bonding and curing. Additionally, it is important to consider how other components such as fasteners and adhesives will affect the overall strength and stiffness of the part.
