hi there
very good day to you all

I would like to ask your favor and advice on how to model micromodeling composite of fiber and matrix
how to we tie/interact the fiber and matrix?

1.Do we need to form three phases, which are fiber , matrix and interface?
2.Can we just connect the fiber and matrix together without having the interface ?
3. The matrix itself is cohesive, do we assign the section for matrix as cohesive and not solid?
4. Do we have to mesh the cohesive interface using cohesive meshing element?
5. what's the best to model debonding, is it tie function or interaction cohesive function?

Many thanks for your time and advice
I really appreciate it
Cheers
