Cloth Modeling Simulation Based on Mass Spring Model

The crucial problem in cloth simulation based on Physical model is how to solve the motion differential equations. Mass spring model is ideal and it is widely used in cloth simulation. The simulation technology of cloth modeling based on mass spring model is presented completely, fabric mechanics models are established precisely, and several kinds of explicit numerical integration are compared in detail, especially, using RK-4 method can greatly improve system’s stability. This cloth simulation method is applied to cloth software. Examples have proved that this method is advanced and practical.

A Cloth Simulation Method for Cloth/ Machinery Coupled System Unified Modeling

In some textile machines, fabric is an inseparable element for motion and force transmitting. But the existing mechanical simulation software cannot model the fabric. This paper proposes a new cloth simulation method by blurring machinery (rigid) and cloth (soft) boundaries. This approach simulates the soft with tiny rigid bodies, large deformation with small ones. It aims to integrate the cloth modeling to the mechanical simulation system. Finally, we establish a cloth simulation model on the mechanical modeling and simulation platform, which is an embodiment of our integrated concept.
