Abstract

This paper puts forward a fabric simulation algorithm. The fabric simulation algorithm based on the improved spring-mass model. Firstly, the rigid rod is introduced to replace the structure spring, which is to improve the spring-mass model. Secondly, based on the improved spring-mass model, the fabric model is established. The fabric is composed of equally distributed particles. The particles in the model are force analyzed and the fabric mechanical equations are developed. Finally, the Display Euler equation method is used to solve the numerical values of the space displacements in the particle model. The hyper-elastic problem is perfected in the solving process. The experimental results show that the method in this paper can keep the fabric simulation stable and high efficiency, which realizes the efficient simulation to the fabric.
