Hello Mahmoud,

As a first step, you could evaluate the risk of delamination using a failure criteria such as Puck 3D. See the ACP documentation for more informaiton:

If you want to explicitly model the delamination and have ply separation, you could do this using interface layers in ACP:

 

Here is more information from the ACP doc:

If you have access to the Ansys Learning Hub (ALH), you will find a workshop on delamination in the following training course:

Let me know how it goes.
