Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing a draping simulation of a fabric that includes obtaining a problem definition that includes a fabric cell size, a spring constant ratio, and a three-dimensional (3D) surface. The technique also includes representing the fabric as a set of fabric cells with dimensions that adhere to the fabric cell size, modeling the fabric cells based on a set of side springs and a set of diagonal springs, and setting a first spring constant of the side springs and a second spring constant of the diagonal springs based on the spring constant ratio. The technique further includes propagating the fabric cells along the 3D surface according to the fabric cell size, the first spring constant, and the second spring constant to generate a result of the draping simulation.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 6 , wherein propagating the set of fabric cells further comprises:\n when the fourth node cannot be added to existing fabric cells in the fabric, adding an additional node to an outer boundary of the fabric; and positioning the additional node in the fabric in a way that minimizes forces applied to the additional node by springs connected to the additional node.
