As you already know, Hashin type damage inside Abaqus only supports plane stress cases. You need to code UMAT or VUMAT for a full 3D application. Please see SIMULIA Answer 3123 for a VUMAT code for unidirectional fiber type composite 3D damage. Hope this code could direct help you.

Homogenization inside ABAQUS is newly developed capability - that is the similar capability as you saw in WCM. You now can directly use this capability without WCM and it should be more powerful than that in WCM.

Best regards,
Yongjin
