Hi, how to make woven layers for a composite analysis in Ansys mechanical apdl or workbench. Indeed, the layer's options available are just for unidirectional or bidirectional layers because of the availabilty of a option of only one angle per layer not two as needed for woven layers (0/90 and +45/-45).
Thanks.
You need to use a micromechanics code to compute the equivalent properties for the woven fabric, then input these properties are what you would use for a single layer. Texgen can help you create the microstructure, then you can use a general-purpose such as SwiftComp to obtain the effective properties.

Hi, I am in a similar situation as I need twill 2/2 carbon fibre fabrics with 0/90 and +45/-45 orientation. I could not understand how can I model this in Ansys using the equivalent properties and what angle of orientation will i have to use. For example, if i am using a 0/90 twill carbon fibre fabric, what angle should i input in the ansys moudule when i create the ply in ansys ?
