Résumé: We present a physically based model for the draping behaviour of knitted fabrics. The model is a generalization of previous models suitable for woven materials. The additional computational e!ort for the generalized model is only a small fraction compared to the previous model. The currently used adaptive step-size solvers for ordinary di!erential equations (ODE), which are an important part of the computational engine of the simulation system, usually show a slightly worse behaviour on the extended model than on the original ones. The required overall simulation time is still in the same range as the simpler original model.
