This paper is the result of an interdisciplinary research project at the Institute of Textile and Clothing Technology and the Institute of Solid Mechanics. The aim of this project is to describe and simulate the deformation behavior of flexural fabrics ( espe cially woven fabrics). For the simulation model, the shell theory is taken as a basis. Simulating drape behavior presents a geometrically nonlinear field problem with con siderable displacements. The deformation theory and its application for fabrics is used as a practicable approach for simulating drape. Investigations of the description of the material's behavior and its properties are a further necessary focus.
