In this paper, the digital element approach is used for modeling the textile structure on a near micro-scale resolution for the purpose of reinforcement analyses.
On the other hand, tools used for textile production, such as hooks, needles, rippers, and etc., have fine-modeled tips in different shapes to adequately handle and model the respective textile material.
The model of the textile geometry serves as a base for meso-mechanical and permeability models for composites, which provide therefore simulation tools for analysis of composite processing and properties.
The model description for each class of textile reinforcements includes coding of the corresponding textile architecture and principles of building a geometrical model of the textile, which provides a full description of the yarn placement.

The global braid permeability was derived from numerical flow simulation based on simplified 2D models of the textile architecture and local permeabilities, taking into account effects of nesting between adjacent layers.
In spite of a profound investigation of textile materials and a number of theoretical models existing in the textile literature for different structures, a model covering all structures typical for composite reinforcements is not available.
The increasing use of the ANN models in the textiles industry warrants more attention to ensure that necessary improvements are made.
For Mrs Cameron to model this textile version of origami on her fashion-conscious frame was a bold and brave decision for a political photo opp.
Convergence analyses are carried out and the textile model is directly used to build up a virtual composite model suitable for virtual mechanical tests.
