Description

Description of feature

I'm wondering if composites laminates would be straightforward to implement in OpenAeroStruct ? Would be neat for aeroelastic tailoring

Potential solution

Using a non-diagonal stiffness matrix would be relatively easy I reckon.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by locating the material stiffness representation in OpenAeroStruct and assess how composite laminates and a non-diagonal stiffness matrix would fit; done would require a defined implementation scope and validation for aeroelastic tailoring.
