er-defined material subroutines, cohesive zone modeling, and multi-scale approaches promise even greater fidelity in future analyses. As composite materials and sandwich structures continue to evolve, so too must our simulation methodologies. Integrating Abaqus with experimental t

he number of plies, their thickness, and orientations. Specify Ply Orientations: For each ply, specify the angle relative to a reference direction (e.g., 0°, 45°, -45°, 90°). These orientations are critical for accurately capturing the anisotropic behavior. Step 2: Assig
