There is a soft pneumatic actuator which is made of Hyper Elastic material that I am going to simulate it in Abaqus or Ansys. A fiberglass layer is attached to bottom of actuator. This layer prevents any elongation in both direction (Longitudinal & Transvers ) but allows actuator to bend. How can I simulate it in Abaqus or Ansys ? adding boundary condition or creating property?
