Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a 3D geometric model of three-pick terry fabric considering the actual design and structural features of the finished terry fabric.
Design/methodology/approach
The model has been developed using SolidWorks CAD system and the output file can be easily simulated in the ANSYS. Dimensions are acquired from the actual terry fabric measurement.
Findings
A 3D computational model – to be used for understanding the behaviour of terry fabric during actual use through the simulation in ANSYS.
Practical implications
Provides the way to study the yarn and fabric structure behaviour during use through simulation.
Originality/value
The research resulted a 3D geometrical model of very complex three-pick terry fabric for very first time for further analysis of terry fabric behaviour during use.
