Fabric Modeling : Convergence Calculus Optimization

The goal of our research works is to build a software for fabric modeling. Our research team wants to simulate any fabric deformations due to mechanic stresses. This paper deals with our solutions to speed up calculus convergence of fabric model simulation. These solutions are based on clever propagation algorithm, multi sampling and displacement prediction. Into bibliography, there is several models based on stressgeometric approach as [8-23] and others based on finite element method (FEM) as [1-7]. Our approach, more ambitious, is based on a scale swap from yarn to fabric. Indeed, from mechanical properties of yarn and its geometric shape into fabric, our model simulates fabric behavior under mechanical stresses. First, we present quickly our fabric model. Then, the solutions to speed up simulation calculus are exposed.
