Please refer to http://grad.iaumajlesi.ac.ir/index/images/stories/Courses/mavad-morakkab/mechanics_of_composite_materials_0849313430.pdf (example 4.2 and 4.3).
This code allows you to calculate the local and global stresses and strains for a multi directional laminate. Also the safety factors using the Tsai-Wu criterion is obtained.

the first page in the laminate excel file contains the input (loads, geometry and mechanical properties of each ply). The figures show the coordinate system that is used in the code. Refer to the attached pictures if the pdf link is unavailable.
