In this problem, we will try to show how to analyze the local-global fields in composite structures using SwiftComp-Abaqus-GUI. [[BR]]
The figure below can summarize how to do the local global analysis.[[BR]]

Let the material properties a fiber (T300) property be: : E,,11,,=230 GPA, E,,22,,=15 GPA, v,,12,,=0.20, v23=,,0.0714,,, G,,12,,=15GPa, G,,7,,=3.928GPa.[[BR]]
and matrix (3501-6 epoxy) be: E =4.2GP, ν=0.34[[BR]]
