Claim One:
1. A method comprising: determining materials of construction that correlate to properties of a selected rock lithology for a corresponding subterranean formation; forming a multi-layer composite synthetic test bed comprising a plurality of layers in an alternating configuration that corresponds to the selected rock lithology using the materials of construction, the multi-layer composite synthetic test bed being configured to fracture in a manner that corresponds to downhole fracturing in the corresponding subterranean formation based on the selected rock lithology, the materials of construction comprising at least one polymer and an additive; introducing a fracturing fluid into the multi-layer composite synthetic test bed at a pressure and a flow rate sufficient to create a fracture network therein; obtaining imaging data indicating a fracture propagation in the fracture network from one or more sensor devices coupled to the multi-layer composite synthetic test bed; and producing synthetic fracture data based on the obtained imaging data.
