This option is used to indicate the start of shear or uniaxial test data along a particular direction to define the behavior of a fabric material. It must be used in conjunction with the *FABRIC option.
Product: Abaqus/Explicit
Type: Model data
Level: Model
Set COMPONENT=1 to define uniaxial behavior of fabric fibers in the “fill” direction.
Set COMPONENT=2 to define uniaxial behavior of fabric fibers in the “warp” direction.
Set COMPONENT=SHEAR to define shear response of the fabric.
