In this article, a micro-heterogeneous material simulation model with carbon fiber and resin phase about laser ablation on carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is established by Ansys. The ablation process of CFRP by nanosecond ultraviolet laser is simulated, and the mechanism of pulse energy and spot spacing on the heat-affected zone (HAZ) is studied, then the process parameters are optimized with the goal of HAZ size and processing efficiency, and finally the validity of the model is verified by experiments. It is found that the residual gradient and the width of the radial HAZ increase with the increase of the spot spacing, and the width of the axial HAZ decreases slightly with the increase of the spot spacing, which indicates the existence of the optimal spot spacing. Second, the ablation depth increases with the increase of the pulse energy, and the carbon fiber retains a relatively complete degree of exposure when the pulse energy is low, which has a certain guiding significance for the cleaning and bonding of CFRP.
