Rapid Sketching of Woven Textile Behavior: The Experimental Use of Parametric Modeling and Interactive Simulation in the Weaving Process

Woven textiles are typically designed with methods and software that demonstrate the graphical aspects of fabric but are limited in their representation of fabric behavior. The category of textiles that undergo shape changes in the finishing phase is well suited to alternate design approaches that incorporate predictive modeling. In this paper, we describe a methodology that uses parametric modeling and simulation to ideate, refine and inform physically produced woven fabrics with specific dimensional qualities, shifting the iterative work inherent to textile design into a digital space.
