Hi,
I was going though papers related to micromechanical modeling of composites using unit cell approach. Usually in this procedure, a unit cell is isolated from the material and to ensure the compatabilty of the unit cell boundary, periodic boundary conditions are applied.
To ensure the compatabilty of the boundary and to apply loads, can we use submodeling techniques available in ABAQUS.
Thank you

If you use VAMUCH
Dear Ghouse,
If you use VAMUCH, details can be found at hifi-comp.com, you don't have to worry about applied loads and boundary conditions as the code does nto require such inputs.
