(OP)
Hi dears.

I'm trying to simulate fabric in abaqus, like airbag or parachute fabric.

I'm using elastic behavior type Lamina and Engineering constants. I define E1, E2 and poisson modulus and G12.

I let  G13 and G23 in blank( not exactly in blank, I put a little value in order to 10 or 100 PA) because I want to eliminate the shear moduli to let the fabric bend free.

I prestress the fabric to let the model run but in the second step when I want to blend the model with Gravity load, imposed displacement... the model don´t converge.

Thanks
