the easiest way is to model new cured Laminate properties with epoxy.

Good question

hi Ashraf,

To define epoxy adhesive in Abaqus use cohesive modelling technique for adhesive layer,use section as cohesive and assign element type as cohesive Coh3d8 .use cohesive interaction .

Dear Ashraf,

Its suitable to model the adhesive in a separate part and to Define cohesive elastic property and Traction-separation damage properties for this model. accordingly, the interactions should be defined correctly, mesh bias should be implemented in the vicinity of stress singularity zones of your model, and appropriate element type (Cohesive element) should be selected.

Yours sincerely,

Pedram
