Answer:
Use <code>SetAddonStatus(Model.clientModel, AddOn.timber_design_active, True)</code> to activate the Multilayer Surfaces add-on.
In the next step, an orthotropic material is created. For this, it is necessary to use user-defined parameters when creating the material. They are first saved in Dictionary <code>p</code> and then transferred as the <code>params</code> parameter.
Use Thickness.Layers(1, 'CLT', [[0, 1, 0.012, 0.0], [0, 1, 0.010, 90]]) to apply the thickness. A nested list is transferred as parameters after the number and the name. Each entry in the list represents a layer. If isotropic material is created, the list for a layer must contain three entries—the type of layer, material number, and layer thickness. If the material is orthotropic, as in this case, the list must also include a fourth entry, the angle of rotation. Please note! The angle of rotation is given in DEG and not in RAD, as is customary.
