Fast three-dimensional simulation based on data constraints and methods to improve the realism of knitted sweaters

The purpose of this research is to use the methods of data constraints for parametric design and three-dimensional simulation of knitted sweaters to achieve the purpose of enhancing the simulation effect. First, based on the basic plates of knitted sweaters as a reference, the parameters of the curve parts of the plates were constrained, and the constraint relationships were applied to build the parametric design models. After entering the user parameters, the changed plates can be obtained. On this basis, the transformation of flat plates to three-dimensional surfaces was carried out. The triangular grid mapping relationships between two-dimensional plates and three-dimensional surfaces were constructed, and the physical properties were further specified for the mesh particles. When the surface texture parameters of the two-dimensional plane are designed, the three-dimensional surface will change accordingly. In addition, this research put forward the stitching and matching methods of the seams of knitted sweaters. The joint size was equally divided, and the number of coils was converted into the number of triangular mesh. Point-to-point mesh was used to realize the accurate counterpoint fusion of coils. The feasibility of parametric and virtual design methods was verified by taking an example, which provides ideas for the computer-aided design of knitted sweaters and promotes the improvement of production efficiency without wasting raw materials.
