Hello everyone,

In order to do my master thesis in Finite Element Analysis, I'm doing research about the periodontal ligament in dental mechanics.

This tissue is composed by a matrix and collagen incompressible fibers.

I'm doing a 2D Axisymetric Analysis in Ansys Workbench and I need to model the fibers as a transverse isotropic material in x direction. How can I do that?
Thank you very much.
