The key of the finite element computational micromechanics is to establish the proper RVE. Advanced pre-processing software was used as the platform in the RVE Library establishment and calculating procedure integration. Lastly, unidirectional composite were used as the example to demonstrate the integrated system of macroscopic properties prediction of composites.
