Simulation of fabric draping shape

The goal of this study was to achieve draping shape prediction through fabric properties such as fabric structure and mechanical properties.It introduces a method that uses fabric draping parameters to rebuild fabric draping shape.The relationship between fabric drape and fabric properties are found out.Starting from draping extent and draping shape,ten draping parameters were proposed to characterize fabric drapability.By using these draping parameters and MatLab language,3-D fabric draping shape was simulated,and an intuitional visual effect to express fabric draping was achieved.The study provides a new method to rebuild fabric draping shape by pulling fabric properties.
