Abstract: In the present work, the influence of the fiber orientation, directly related to the porosity and permeability of the reinforcing component, in the creation of lightweight composite structures, and how the fluid flow is influenced in relation to it, is considered. The research was done on the basis of a created algorithm for building virtual analyzes taking into account the orientation, including four main steps. The results of studies taking into account the created orientation and those without taking it into account were compared, showing the essential difference and advantage of the created algorithm.
