In this paper, the method to unify the definition of woven architectures in textile composites over a wide range of variations has been established. This was achieved via parametrisation of the weaves, which was conducted employing a limited set of clearly defined parameters. Detailed description of these parameters has been given, based of which a wide range of 2D and 3D weaves can be reproduced. The intended use of the parametrisation developed is to facilitate virtual testing of composites through numerical material characterisation based on use of unit cells (UC). The process as presented in this paper delivers a fully parametrised UC in a straightforward way. After implementing the parametrisation as a computer code and combining it with the piece of software UnitCells©, it has been fully developed as a methodology. Its capability as a design tool for 3D woven composites is demonstrated via a range of case studies.

在本文中，已经建立了在多种变化范围内统一纺织品复合材料中机织结构定义的方法。这是通过采用有限的一组清晰定义的参数进行编织参数化来实现的。给出了这些参数的详细说明，基于这些参数，可以复制各种2D和3D编织。开发的参数化的预期用途是通过基于单位晶胞（UC）的数值材料表征，方便对复合材料进行虚拟测试。本文介绍的过程以一种直接的方式提供了完全参数化的UC。在将参数化实现为计算机代码并将其与软件UnitCells©组合后，它已作为一种方法被全面开发。
