Hello,

I am working on an application study for textile engineering using 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA.

I would like to perform simulations involving fabric large deformation, draping, anisotropic material behavior, fabric-to-fabric/surface contact and friction.

Could someone please advise:

1. Which SIMULIA role/app and analysis procedure should be used?
2. Is Abaqus/Explicit the recommended solver for fabric draping and large-deformation contact?
3. Which material formulation is normally used for woven/anisotropic fabric?
4. Can this workflow be performed entirely through 3DEXPERIENCE SIMULIA?
5. Are there any official SIMULIA examples or case studies that I can refer to?

I am planning to develop a textile simulation PoC, so practical guidance on the recommended workflow would be very helpful.
