material modeling on 3D braided fibre reinforced composites when subjected to impact loading

Hi dear members

I am a student doing my Masters in Automotive Engineering at RWTH Aachen and am interested in Structural mechanics. I have done a basic course on mechanics of composite materials and am decently conversant with mechanics of composite laminae. However I am asked to do this mini project where in I am asked to search for a Material model on LS Dyna which is suitable for simulating the crash loading on a 3D braided carbon FRP. 

So i have to get familiarised with LS Dyna as well as gain sufficient knowledge on 3D braided composites. hence I request guidance with regard to the study methodology as i have to finish my work in about 3-4 months.

Thanking you in advance for your help
