Woven Fabric - How to model in ABAQUS?

Submitted by Nelson Faria on

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?

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
