#### 2.3.3.2. Known Limitations

The conversion of the composite lay-up of legacy Mechanical APDL models to ACP models only works for shell models.

The proper translation of Mechanical APDL sections to ACP modeling plies can only be guaranteed if the Mechanical APDL section points to a connected region of elements where all element normals are oriented the same way. If this is not the case, a warning is issued on export and the resulting lay-up may not be entirely correct.
