The vacuum assisted resin transfer modeling is one of the essential processes to produce large-scale thin-walled FRP components. To simulate the resin flow moving inside the preform, we provide a model to predict preform deformation together with the in-plain resin flow. Instead of a full 3-D model, the process is simplified as 2-D resin flow pass through the 3-D deformable preform ignoring the through-thickness flow.The model dramatically reduces the corresponding 3-D problem and increases the computational efficiency
