Abaqus-FRC: CAD Specimens for Fiber-Reinforced Composites

This repository contains some of the CAD files representing fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) specimens. These files are generated using visual programming or Python Scripting and exported in .iges format, compatible with Abaqus and other CAD/CAE software. All lectures (not about generating these files, but focuses on modeling and simulating fiber-reinforced concrete in ABAQUS, such as working with them after importing into the software) are publicly available in the following YouTube playlist:

Features

• CAD Specimens: A small set of representative fiber-reinforced composite geometries.
• Visual Programming Models: Some examples created via graphical design workflows.
• IGES Format: All models are exported as .iges files, ready to be imported into Abaqus or other CAD/CAE software.

Usage Instructions

1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
2. Open the .iges files using CAD software such as:
   • Abaqus/CAE
   • SolidWorks
   • CATIA
   • Fusion 360
3. You can use these CAD models for visualization, modification, or as input for Abaqus simulations.

Requirements

• CAD software that supports .iges files (e.g., Abaqus/CAE, SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360)
