This work presents a beam element approach for the modeling and high-efficiency simulation of mechanical properties of 2.5D woven composite. For the beam element model, a technical scheme for the parametric modeling of 2.5D woven fabrics was produced. Considering the constraint relationship between the matrix and the fibers, we proposed a method for creating matrix beam elements. Then, a beam element solver was compiled to simulate the mechanical properties of the 2.5D woven composite. Meso-scale analysis of curved shallow-crossing linking 2.5D woven composite using the proposed model obtained the accurate tensile modulus. Full-scale analysis was implemented to simulate bending behavior of straight shallow-crossing linking 2.5D woven composite, and the simulation results agreed well with the experimental results. The above analysis could automatically complete modeling, analysis and post-processing in a relatively short time, reflecting the efficiency advantages of the method in this paper.
