Article Synopsis
  • Contemporary CAD systems facilitate realistic 3D clothing simulations to predict how both standard and smart fabrics behave in real-world conditions, with a focus on the fabric's physical and mechanical properties.
  • The study involved analyzing nine different fabrics, testing their tensile, bending, shear, and compression characteristics, and measuring draping using specialized devices to create accurate computer models.
  • Results indicated that the mesh density of the polygonal models significantly influences the simulation outcomes, showing a correlation between this parameter and the drape coefficients of the fabrics.

Three-dimensional (3D) scanning and computer-aided design (CAD) technology has been used in engineering and ergonomics practice for several years, due to their admissibility in producing accurate 3D object representation, scan data restoration and modification. Lately, application was extended for reconstructing and modelling 3D scan data of the human body, since this enables tracing the geometry information and precise measurement analysis. In this study, this technology was applied to analyse scanned models of a dressed human body.
