Thank you so much. I have applied your model to check .But problem for me is angle of reinforcement should be 54.04 to 54.103. and area of cross section should be 0.02. and i  am not sure about the contact.I have total 11 layers of steel and rubber (among 4 of them were steel reinforcements at particular angle and i am not sure about distance)I want to see as well reinforcement like steel wire at helix.

I believe this approach is really good.It can save simulation cost and can be easily edited fior future use.when i am trying to change the angle and area of cross section it shows different style of reinforcements.

Could you please guide me is this reinforcing method can be applied to hydraulic hoses as shared above.If yes could you please guide me regarding reinforcing sections and data.For meshing any meshing can be used around 6mm thickness of pipe but  because of different material involved we just need contact and correct result for deformation.Thanks again.
