This contribution will present some simulation related work carried out within a public funded Horizon2020 project of the European Community. Focus is set on composite damage and fracture modelling available in the finite element solver LS-DYNA® and the constitutive models developed within the project. Based on use-cases identified within the project EXTREME, experimental testing and numerical modeling techniques for continuous fiber reinforced aircraft structures such as turbine blades and wing sections are shown. The contribution will showcase results of work packages of the project, such as physical tests conducted to determine the various model parameters which are needed to accurately describe the anisotropic material behavior on a macroscopic length scale that is considered being state-of-the-art in numerical simulations.
