Lay-up properties
-----------------

This example shows how to efficiently extract elemental lay-up properties such as
thickness, angles, and analysis ply names. These are typically used for layer-wise
postprocessing and data filtering.

To get the full layer information of an element, including results,
consider using the :class:`SamplingPoint <.SamplingPoint>` class.

.. note::

    When using a Workbench project,
    use the :func:`.composite_files_from_workbench_harmonic_analysis`
    method to obtain the input files.

Set up analysis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Setting up the analysis consists of importing dependencies, connecting to the
DPF server, and retrieving the example files.

Import dependencies.
