		This program has been developed to facilitate analysis and design of laminated preforms which consist of distinct layers of materials. In general, preforms may be constructed with any combination of continuous fiber, fiber mats, woven fabrics and cores. The program will provide effective laminate properties. Thermal as well as mechanical loadings are included in the point stress calculations. The program applications are highlighted below: 1) Effective laminate properties 2) Laminate stiffness (ABD matrix) 3) Lamina point stress/strain calculations 4) Load conditions: in-plane force and moment resultants including thermal effects

			This work was conducted in a joint effort between the University of Delaware and Michigan State University under the aegis of the National Science Foundation project Manufacturing Education and Training Program in Composite Materials for the DoD and Durable Goods Industries under the DARPA Supplementary Education Awards.
