Structure modeling in three-dimensional simulation of weft-knitted seamless kneepads

Abstract

This paper proposes a simulation method suitable for weft-knitted seamless kneepads. The purpose of this study is to realize the simulation of complete weft-knitted products, and it has the advantage of speed to display the simulation results online in real-time. The loop of the basic loop model is controlled by up to eight characteristic points and the yarn path is fitted by a three-dimensional spline curve. To string the loop model into the fabric, the coordinate of the characteristic point of the loop at other positions is obtained based on the loop model at the origin by using the translation matrix and the rotation matrix. The simulation of the weft-knitted kneepad is realized by the joint programming of Visual Studio and WebGL. The results show that the structure model can achieve the simulation of the kneepad with high efficiency. This method has strong real-time performance and practicability.
