Abstract

Modeling cross-sections of yarn may include receiving yarn simulation input comprising a descriptive model of a general curvature followed by the yarn, providing a plurality of fibers distributed radially from the center of a ply, setting a base position based on parameters, applying a strain model to simulate the effect of stretch forces applied to the yarn, and outputting a yarn model indicating position and directionality of fibers in the yarn. The technology also relates to real-time modeling of a garment comprising a fabric. For instance, real-time modeling of a garment may include providing an input associated with one or more parameters of the fabric, receiving frames of a computer simulated garment, the computer simulated garment including a simulation of the fabric, the fabric simulation including yarns simulated based on a yarn model.
