Is my approach to modify a fiber-reinforced actuator FEA modelling in Abaqus correct?

AS

After successfully duplicating the fibre-reinforced actuator I want to change the design to add another layer of elastosil tube and another layer of fiber to look something like this (excluding the caps). These are the steps that outline my methodology however I am not sure if my approach is correct

  1. Inner First Circle
  2. Inner Second Circle
  3. Extrude
  4. Outer First Circle
  5. Outer second Circle
  6. Extrude
  7. adding tube I as an instance
  8. adding tube II as an instance
  9. merging instances to make merged actuator
  10. create point for fiber I
  11. running fibers script (to make helix)
  12. create point for fiber II
  13. running fibers script (to make helix II)
  14. Add fibers I and II to assembly
  15. adding fiber I and II instance
  16. DEFINE elastosil material
  17. DEFINE kevlar material
  18. creating elastosil sections (for tube I)
  19. creating elastosil section II (for tube II)
  20. creating kevlar/fiber section (for fiber I)
  21. creating kevlar/fiber section II (for fiber II)
  22. assigning sections for merged actuator
  23. assigning sections for fibers
  24. beam section orientation for fiber I and II
  25. create inner surface for tube I
  26. create outer surface for tube II
  27. create step
  28. Boundary conditions (??????)
  29. Amplitude
  30. Apply load
  31. mesh control
  32. mesh element type
  33. set seed
  34. mesh generation
  35. mesh fibers
  36. mesh settings for fibers
  37. mesh
  38. tie constraint for fiber I and tube II (inner surface)
  39. tie constraint for tube II (outer surface) and fiber II
Any recommendations are appreciated
