Sorry Matej. It is much more configurable than I thought. ( I was dazzled and did not see it 
).
Iām trying it now but I donāt get the trick. Seems like locating the point in the center, it splits the composite in two, but now they donāt separate. With custom they expand in the inverted direction
Itās ok. Some hand work. I donāt like very much introducing Rigid body which could change the stiffness of the plate.
I imported a geometry from Rhino as an STP file. The idea is to create a 3-layer glulam beam, where the top and bottom layers have the wood fibers oriented along the beamās axis, but the middle layer is divided into 9 segments with different orientations.
Could you help me with these questions?
Are the boundary conditions correctly applied? Should the loads and supports be assigned to an edge (as shown in the picture), or is there another way to do it?
Assuming there is perfect bonding between the lamellas, do I need to create a union surface, or how can I ensure PrePoMax understands that everything is fully bonded?
As far as I know, I need to define the mesh parameters, boundary conditions, and material properties with fiber direction in CalculiX keywords. Should I adjust anything in the section properties? Is there anything else I should consider?
Thanks in advance! 
Why only to the edge ? How is it supposed to be supported in real life ? Usually, itās better to apply BCs and loads to faces instead of edges in the case of solid models. Also, keep in mind that concentrated force load applies the whole specified force to each selected node.
Either create a compound part to get continuous mesh or define tie constraints (can be automated with the Search Contact Pairs tool).
You only need keywords for unsupported features such as material orientations. You can create a dummy section assignment in GUI to avoid warnings and then add custom keywords below it (it will be overwritten).
Also, your mesh is very coarse for larger segments and it would be better to use hexahedral elements.
This is the standard benchmark R0031_1 Laminated strip under three-point bending as an example using Prepomax . Note the Shear Stress_13 need to be extracted at the integration point as close as possible to the midsection. Shear_13 has the same value but with oposite sign so they cancel at the midsection when averaged at the node. (not usefull).
Iām obtaining 4.95MPa at the closes int.Point. It needs additional refinement through thickness to be accurate.

Thank you for the explanation. I followed all your suggestions:
However, the simulation does not run. The error message says that #### finite elements are missing section assignment.
These are the keywords I used, and in the attached image, you can see the names of the element sets and parts.
What could I be doing wrong?
*MATERIAL, NAME=timber
*ELASTIC, TYPE=ENGINEERING CONSTANTS
12000000, 1200000, 1200000, 0.35, 0.35, 0.35, 700000, 700000, 300000
*ORIENTATION, NAME=orientationLongitudinal, SYSTEM=RECTANGULAR
1., 0., 0., 0., 1., 0.
*ORIENTATION, NAME=orientationTransversal, SYSTEM=RECTANGULAR
0., 1., 0., 0., 0., 1.
*SOLID SECTION, ELSET=Element_Set-1, MATERIAL=timber, ORIENTATION=orientationLongitudinal
*SOLID SECTION, ELSET=Element_Set-3, MATERIAL=timber, ORIENTATION=orientationLongitudinal
*SOLID SECTION, ELSET=Element_Set-2, MATERIAL=timber, ORIENTATION=orientationTransversal
You have to put the custom section keywords under the ones generated from GUI definitions so that they are overwritten.
The introduction of the material using ENGINEERING CONSTANTS must include the last two data points on a second line; otherwise, CALCULIX will generate an error.
*ELASTIC,TYPE=ENGINEERING CONSTANTS
12000000, 1200000, 1200000, 0.35, 0.35, 0.35, 700000, 700000,
300000, 0
ā0ā is the temperature value. I hope this helps you.
