Description
Summary:Fabric properties and fabric structure prediction are important in each industry domain. Generally all professionalCAD packages for woven textiles system will be able to achieve basic fabric simulation and production output. Agood CAD system should enable you to create design (dobby and jacquard woven fabric) ideas quickly and easilyto enhance the way you work. The differences among competing systems fall mainly into the following categories:ease of use; speed of operation; flexibility of operation; advanced features; technical support; and ongoing softwaredevelopment. Computer simulation or prediction is oriented on standard woven fabrics, technical textiles, andcomposites. This article focuses on the presentation of software ProTkaTex and its use in the prediction of wovenfabric properties. The software implements a generalized description of the internal structure of woven fabric onthe unit cell level, integrated with mathematical models of the fabric relaxed state. User can calculate selectedmechanical and end-use properties of dobby and jacquard woven fabric as well as can evaluate fabric behaviorbefore real weaving. The major challenge is to develop software that industry will use in design centers for creationand development of new fabric structures for technical as well as clothing application.
