Default RE: Composite Analysis Program

It's a bit more complicated than I thought. I don't think I'll model shear stress for now because even commercial finite element analysis programs like Strand7 still don't model the shear behavior of composite panels properly. But I can model longitudinal stress and I think in most wings this stress is the defining factor for the design.
