Operation Method

Surface Elastic

1. Select the surface in Surfaces Selection Mode.
2. Enter your desired value via UI Panel > Fabric > Advanced Physical Properties > Elastic.
3. Simulate to check whether surfaces with elasticity are shrunk in the 3D view.

Inner Curve Elastic

1. Select the inner curves in Curves/Points Selection Mode.
2. Enter your desired value via UI Panel > Properties > Inner Curve Properties > Elastic.
3. Simulate to check whether inner curves with elasticity are shrunk in the 3D view.

Outline Elastic

1. Select the inner curves in Curves/Points Selection Mode.
2. Enter your desired value via UI Panel > Properties > Curve Properties > Elastic.
3. Simulate to check whether outlines with elasticity are shrunk in the 3D view.

Components

Surface Elastic

Surface Elastic is a function for adjusting the elasticity of surfaces. The lower the value, the more it shrinks after simulation.

For example, a 10 cm square fabric with 40% elasticity shrinks the fabric to 4 cm. The fabric will remain the same size with 100% elasticity.

• Elastic Weft

  Elasticity is applied in the horizontal direction of the fabric.

• Elastic Warp

  Elasticity is applied in the vertical direction of the fabric.

  (Weft/ Warp directions can be changed with Fabric Placer.)

Inner Curve Elastic

Inner Curve Elastic is a function for adjusting the elasticity of inner curves.

• Width

  This function gives offsets to both sides around the inner curve for a thick elastic band effect. For example, entering 2.5 cm for the width will produce 2.5 cm offsets on both sides, centering on the inner curve to create a 5 cm thick elastic band.

• Strength

  Strength is a function for setting the strength of elasticity.

  The higher the value, the less it is affected by external factors, thus giving stronger features for maintaining the applied elasticity. The lower the value, the more it is affected by external factors, thus having weaker features for maintaining the applied elasticity.

• Ratio

  You can set the ratio of elasticity to apply to inner curves. The lower the value, the more it shrinks after the simulation. For example, a 10 cm inner curve with a 40% ratio will shrink to 4 cm after simulation.
