Woven Fabric - How to model in ABAQUS?
Submitted by Nelson Faria on Sun, 2008-03-23 22:18.
Hello ppl,
I'm having a doubt about how to model a composite woven fabric. Is it using laminar in the material properties? Due to the fact the fabric is made by fiber running in 0 and 90 degrees direction, in the Composite Layup do I have still to add the the direction of the fibers?
rebar
Try rebar parameters in the section definition and mesh the fabric with membrane or surface elements .
The angle definitions in the rebars can be changed and made 0or 90.
Thanks
