Hi All

I have just started my postgraduation in aerospace composites. I am new to FE of composites and required serious help in learning composite modelling. It will great if someone can help me in starting up. If you know any websites or books which have examples which I can go through to learn modelling of composites, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

Hello,

 Pardon my basic question.  I need to model a carbon fibre sheet using Abaqus 6.7.  I cannot seem to get the composite layup tool to work properly and I do not know how to define the material properties for carbon fibre.  Are there any good online turorials I can use to do this?  My part will be 8-ply, 125mm square, ~1mm thinck.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tyler
