Dear Louise

Thank you so much. I'll try this one to see what will happen.

Dear Louise
successfully I have changed the yarn resolution. But still it has excessive distortion in wedge elements. I think it is because of a mistake in my yarn properties but I have changed every thing for many times and the problem still exist.
If I had a chance that someone could see my model, the problems would eliminate.

and then it will be like this: (and I dont know why it is not in multi colors)

Hi Maryam,

I am not sure what is the correlation between the two plots attached in your post. In the first plot, it appears that the horizontal yarns are not bearing any load, because the stress in those yarns are zero (blue). The second plot you have is blue because the stress is uniformly low everywhere in your model. The only high stress locations are probably the deformed areas. If you zoom in those areas, you will probably see a bit red or orange color. Besides checking the material definition, I would check the load and BCs you have applied to your model.

Regards,
Yan C.

Dear Yan C.
Hi
My BC condition in the load surface was wrong. I've corrected this and the problem has been solved in wedge elements.
Thank you so much,
