Reply To: Measuring of thermal conductivity

Thanks for your feedback.
I'm using ACP post to model the geometry that contains the fibre and matrix. Here, the material inputs for fibre is just the form of sheets. The fibres amount can be applied using the required volume fractions over the whole composite material sample. Volume fractions are formulated by the thickness of the fibre. Later, ACP outputs are exported to the steady state thermal to calculate the temperature-difference between the surfaces that gives the thermal conductivity of the composite with respect to known heat flux and area. I'm not sure the procedure is properly reflecting the method of calculating conductivity of composite. If I increase the layers number by reducing the fibre thickness, fibre alignment is still remaining the same. How to properly model the two different materials in a composite manner, then?
