Abstract. The experiment and simulation of biaxial non-crimp fabric draping process is investigated. The finite element model is formulated employing a mesoscopic approach, wherein each individual fiber yarn and stitch is treated as a continuous medium, modeled separately for a more nuanced representation. The hemispherical punch shape for the draping is selected as it is the most commonly used academic shape with a rather simple double-curved geometry. The deformed shape, material draw-in and local shear angle between the experimental and numerical results are compared and discussed.
