\section{Conclusion}

During this assignment we have worked for the first time on Abaqus and try to compare the theoretical model against the simulation software. To conclude, theses are our main observation during this work:

The micro-mechanical model, for the longitudinal modulus, fit well to the Abaqus simulation. It seems reasonable to think that this fact is correct for every composite sharing similar geometry.
On the contrary, the transverse modulus have a poor accuracy with the micro-mechanical model. Another model is necessary and this is why we have tested the Halpin-Tsai model. This one allow a precision good enough for multiple engineering case.

In the same time, the mesh precision doesn't influence too much the accuracy of the results. Obviously, a really rough mesh will give false results. However, as our results prove, a good parameter for the mesh volume fraction will allow a low computation time with a good precision.

To further expand on this work, it would be interesting to compare our transverse modulus results with some other model, like the Puck or the Ekval model.
