• An additional laminate failure criterion called LaRC 2D failure criterion was implemented.
• Disabling the effect of fiber parallel stresses of Puck failure criterion is possible.
• Influence of weighting factor for each failure mode was included.
• Visualization of global stresses and strain values at the bottom of the first and top of the last layer is possible now with the ComPoLyX version 0.7.
• Post processing functionality has been enhanced along with layer-wise failure criteria evaluation and visualization.
• ComPoLyX file “Save” and “Open” functions were reworked.
• Ply angle and normal direction visualization was implemented.
• Python user interface was reworked.
• Export of Post processing results to CSV format is now possible with version 0.7.
• Various bug fixes for the bugs from earlier versions of ComPoLyX.

Further, this version has been improved as bug fix, in version 0.7.1, containing the following improvements:

• Ply recovery functionality was added.
• Visualization performance was improved.
• Time to load the model was reduced.
