Features: This book includes content such as the development environment and theoretical foundation of textile CAD, mathematical models and algorithms for woven fabric organization CAD, CAD simulation technology and applications for woven fabrics, computer-aided fabric analysis and fabric engineering design, woven fabric dobby CAD systems, warp-knitted fabric CAD systems, weft-knitted fabric CAD systems, and tricot knitted fabric CAD systems, among others. It focuses on introducing advanced two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulation technologies for textiles. Each chapter is accompanied by review questions and computer experiments. Additionally, selected typical software is introduced, highlighting their operational functions. This book is compiled to meet the needs of textile engineering undergraduate and graduate students learning textile product CAD. The book consists of nine chapters, including an overview, the development environment and theoretical foundation of textile CAD, mathematical models and algorithms for woven fabric organization CAD, CAD simulation technology and applications for woven fabrics, computer-aided fabric analysis and fabric engineering design, woven fabric dobby CAD systems, warp-knitted fabric CAD systems, weft-knitted fabric CAD systems, and tricot knitted fabric CAD systems. Each chapter is equipped with review questions and computer experiments for teaching reference. The book comprehensively introduces the composition, main functions, current technical status, existing problems, and development trends of current textile CAD systems. It summarizes and refines the software and hardware environments and theoretical foundations required for the development of different textile product CAD systems, such as basic knowledge like data description methods, graphics, color representation techniques, and image processing. It systematically introduces the mathematical models and computer generation methods for various woven and knitted fabric organizations, as well as the functions and implementation methods of dobby CAD systems. It focuses on advanced two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulation technologies for textiles. Selected typical software is also introduced to enhance readers' practical application skills. This book is a systematic textbook dedicated to textile CAD and can also serve as a learning and reference resource for professionals engaged in the application and development of textile product CAD software.
