Hello everyone,

I plan to model a knitted reinforcement within a rubber hose in Abaqus in order to analyse the various stresses sustained by them during hose expansion.

I am wondering whether to model them using beam elements or solid elements in abaqus.

What would be the fundamental difference, for which beam elements could be preferrable over solid elements for such an application?
