I ran a study for short fiber (have not address the high aspect ratio yet) and made repeat count a parameter and I do see variability. I think this is expected because they are similar RVE form a volume fraction point of view, but one is more densely packed. They are not the same RVE. I saw modulus vary by 10% or so when go from 2 to 3 to 4, etc. How much % difference are you seeing?
