Description: This record contains a tool for the Rhinoceros plug-in Grasshopper. It can be used for the generation of representative volume elements (RVEs) for textile-reinfoced composites, which can be embedded in a multiscale framework. The geometries describing roving and surrounding composite are partitioned in star-shaped subgeometries. The roving in weft and warp direction are described as elliptical cylinder, furthermore they are assumed to be orthogonal to each other. The following characteristic properties can be adjusted: grid opening of the textile in warp and weft direction l1 and l2 height of the representative volume element hRVE radii of the rovings in warp and weft direction h1/b1 and h2/b2 cover height c0 Furthermore the models used to generate the numerical results of the following publication are gathered: "Analysis of Thin Carbon Reinforced Concrete Structures through Micro Tomography and Machine Learning" [1] Please refer to the associate publication for complete understanding.
