I am trying to model FRP sheet using Abaqus. Is there any available tutorials or instructions for doing this? And from where I will get the material properties of FRP.
You can either use the Composites Layup capability in Abaqus if FRP sheets can be approximated as homogeneous layers and you know the lamina constants. If you don't know the lamina constants, you can use a micromechanics code such as SwiftComp (https://cdmhub.org/resources/scstandard) to obtain these constants or equivalent plate constants if the abaqus analysis uses plate elements.

I am trying to model RC deep beam using Abaqus/explicit. Can any one suggest me how to do this... should I go for the displacement control in stead of load boundary. How to get the material properties to be used..Is there some totorials or any instructions..Thank you
