Abstract

This chapter reflects the literature on modeling 3D interlock woven fabrics with a focus on forming simulations. 3D woven fabrics inherently exhibit a multiscale characteristic. These fabrics are comprised of interwoven yarns with each of these yarns containing thousands of individual fibers. Consequently, numerical models are applied at various scales: the macroscale (scale of the fabric as a whole), the mesoscale (yarn structure is addressed), and the microscale (properties and behaviors of individual fibers). The modeling approaches developed on these scales are reviewed. There has been notable progress in modeling macroscale draping, aiming for a comprehensive representation of all the yarns within the fabric, often encompassing the fabric’s mesoscale features. These mesoscale models provide the most precise representation but come with a demand for substantial computational resources. To tackle the computational complexity associated with large-scale meso problems, one potential solution involves integrating local modeling within meso-macro approaches.
