Abstract

The requirements in CAD modelling of garments are first considered and alternative user interfaces are considered. Features which occur in block patterns and for which accurate simulation is required are identified. An energy based modeller, developed for drape simulation, is introduced and applied to model garment constructional details in fabric test specimens of variable stiffness. The modeller is further applied to garment pieces in contact with a mannequin to compare drape with and without constructional features.
