Abstract:

This article proposes a method for designing and simulating jacquard warp-knitted towel fabric. Artistic conception drawing was used in realising the CAD design function of jacquard warp-knitted towel fabric based on the fabric structure and knitting principle. This study applied NURBS curves and the surface principle to build a three-dimensional solid model of the terry loop. Then using microscope type measurement instruments, the terry loop forms of the fabric surface were analysed and models of different forms of terry loop on the fabric surface built. With visual C++ for development tools combined with OpenGL graphics libraries, a CAD design and simulation function of jacquard warp-knitted towel fabric were finally realized within the CAD system.
