Material description for textile draping simulation: data structure, open data exchange formats and system for automatic analysis of experimental series

Abstract

The simulative development of clothing and other textile products requires a complete set of material parameters to be provided. Currently, different simulation software providers users with different values and formats for these parameters. This paper provides an overview about the most important values and proposed structures for storing both the raw data and the extracted parameters. The structure is implemented in both JSON and XML formats, allowing integration in proven formats for three-dimensional worlds such as gltf and x3d. Finally, a structure for organization of the raw data of the testing devices is described. Following this structure allows automatic processing, normalization and extraction of the parameters in short time. The goal of the paper is to simplify and unify the exchange of material parameters for textile fabrics.

Research on Application of 3D Simulation Technology in Industrial Product Design Technology

“…e creative scheme of the products can achieve three-dimensional design through rapid three-dimensional modeling and rendering and can be adjusted at any time in the shape feeling, shape adjustment, color, and other aspects. In the analysis stage of product structure engineering, CAE technology and finite element technology need to be applied, with the help of engineering analysis software to further adjust the product design scheme [14]. With the help of computer powerful computing power, designers can quickly calculate the lighting design scheme but also realize the 3D simulation of the lighting effect of the scene through the line of rendering output with a certain "photorealistic" image.…”

Investigation of the visual appearance of different skirt styles and materials during the fitting simulation with Lectra Modaris

“…Despite of this, some research institutions try to motivate software companies to use unified format for the material data, as until now each CAD software requires different values, based on different testing procedures and stored in different formats. Principally, engineers with good mechanics knowledge are able to re-compute these values [14], but the solvers in the CAD programs remain closed and hidden and the reproducibility of the drape results remains not enough investigated.…”

Modeling and deformation simulation of weft knitted fabric at yarn level

“…These methods can describe the deformation behavior of fabric quickly; however, they do not consider the physical properties of a fabric and lack realism. 5,6 Therefore, many scholars have combined geometric models of knitted fabrics with physical properties to study the deformation behavior of knitted fabrics. Abghary used the FEA method to model knitted fabric and studied the tensile deformation of knitted fabrics of various densities in different directions.…”
