As we have mentioned in the previous paper1), we are developing a three dimensional CAD system for dress, where one can estimate and display the shape of appearance of a dress put on a body, by inputting the following data; 1) paper pattern for the dress, 2) mechanical characteristics of the cloth, 3) shape of the body. We also explained our concept of paper patterns with complete information for sewing and dressing, and the method to triangulate them.
In this paper we describe the construction of topological structure of the dress by sewing the planer triangulated pattern, and the rough estimation of the shape of the dress from the information for dressing. These steps directly follow the triangulation and prepare suitable three dimensional initial state for the succeeding iterative numerical analysis to obtain the mechanically stable state of the dress. Our method is applicable to almost any kind of topology of connection at sewing lines and to any position of the body to put the dress.
Therefore, we believe that the capability of our system described above enables us to simulate almost all kind of dress designed and produced in current apparel industries.
