I am using Python to control the Abaqus GUI and build an RVE with PBCs. The material is an Ox-Ox CMC so there is no interphase, or interface material. To represent the porosity I will need to delete some of the elements.
Does anyone have experience with this kind of activity?
Dear Alex Poyser,
If your problem is geometrically and you want to know how to use python to model this composite, I suggest referring to the links below. You can learn a lot about python. You won’t regret it.

Just remember, you must know the relations needed for the modeling.
If your problem is to define material properties, I recommend using UMAT and VUMAT subroutine. You can refer to this link:

Again, you need to know the equation of the composite material properties.
Best wishes.
