Use of Hashin damage criteria for plain woven composites in ABAQUS.

Hi,

I am trying to model impact damage in a composite plate made of woven plies lay-up. I have 2 questions probably basics but I can't find any clear answer and I hope someone could help me.

1) Can the Hashin damage criterion in ABAQUS be applied to a plain woven composites? I know that initially Hashin critrion was for unidirectional composites and looking at the equations I can't see how this criterion could make the difference between matrix and fibre failure in the case of woven composites, but I can't find any restriction in ABAQUS documentation.

2) Concerning the strength properties (Xc, Xt, Yc, Yt, S) of a woven composites, do these properties represent the strenght in x direction (Xc, Xt) and y direction (Yc, Yt) even if due to the weaving, fibres are oriented in both x and y direction, or do they represent the strength in fibre direction (Xc, Xt) and in transverse direction (Yc, Yt)? Because I think I have seen somewhere that even for a woven laminate these properties were determine from the unidirectional laminate corresponding but it seems strange to me. 

Thank you for any help.
