TexGen

Brown, Louise P.

Abstract

This chapter gives an overview and introduction to the use of TexGen, open source software developed at the University of Nottingham as a pre-processor for 3D geometric modelling of textile structures. An overview is given of the modelling theory used in the software. There is a guide to creating automatically generated textile models using the built-in weave wizards and a detailed example of the method for creating a textile model using the functionality within the graphical user interface (GUI). An overview of the Python application programming interface (API) is given, illustrated by an example script, as well as information on how to use the Python functions to edit existing textiles. Finally there is an overview of the options for different meshing and export options used to prepare models as input for simulations.
