This chapter will describe the fundamental aspects and methods for the modeling and simulation of textile reinforcement structures and fiber-reinforced plastic composites (FRPCs). Due to the anisotropic material properties, the simulation of the deformation behavior of textile reinforcement structures is a complex matter. Various approaches will be introduced and simulation solutions based on kinematic models will be discussed in detail. The focus of this chapter is to assist designers and engineers in the design of preforms for complex FRPC components. To correctly configure the composite material according to the expected strains by means of Finite Element Models (FEM), extensive experimental tests for the quantification of composite characteristics are necessary. This contribution will therefore also address modeling and simulation methods based on multi-scale approaches to the determination of special mechanical values of materials.
