Hello, I would like to known what is the difference between export to abaqus in material continuum and single layer RVE ), the number of voxel have an effect on the exported model? Thank you

Hi,

The difference between the two types of boundary conditions is described in the User Guide here: http://texgen.sourceforge.net/index.php ... BAQUS_File

The number of voxels will affect your simulation. You need to carry out a sensitivity study to find the appropriate voxel size. Also be aware that if you have any narrow yarns in your model you need to make sure that your voxel size is small enough to ensure continuity of the voxels in the yarn.

Hope that helps,
Louise
