Definitions

  • This invention relates to simulating the appearance properties of a warp knit fabric based on properties of the yarn in the fabric.
  • the simulation is comparable to the actual fabric knit from yarn of those properties.
  • the present invention provides a method for simulating actual fabric appearance by just knowing the constituent yarn properties without having to make the actual fabric.
  • the method comprises the steps of obtaining a data set of yarn physical properties for each yarn in the warp knit fabric then programming a digital computer to average the yarn physical properties for each yarn in the fabric according to the stitch pattern of the fabric to produce a wale average property for each wale in the fabric.
  • the pixel density for the graphics display equipment associated with the computer is then calculated from the average wale properties and displayed to represent each wale in the fabric.
  • a warp-knit textile fabric as intended herein is best defined in terms of a stitch pattern as shown in Fig. 1. While many other patterns constituting warp-knitting are possible the one shown represents a jersey tricot warp knit construction. Knitting needle positions for each of five successive wales and courses for the front and back bars are represented in Fig. 1. The horizontal rows of dots represent courses 1-5 while the wales of the fabric are represented by vertical rows of dots A-G. More particularly, referring to Fig. 1 the stitch construction of the fabric is notationally set out and shows that the threads of the front bar indicated as 21-25 have back and forth movement to non-adjacent needles in successive courses and the threads of the back bar, indicated as 31-35 have similar movements.
  • the technology uses a Hewlett Packard HP9845 model 270 to print patterns which model the appearance of jersey warp knit fabrics.
  • the present invention provides a computer-aided method of predicting fabric appearance from physical or chemical properties of yarns used to knit a warp knit fabric and displaying such appearance, such fabric having a stitch pattern with courses and wales and each of said yarn properties having a contrast factor, said method comprising the steps of:
  • AD is the arbitrarily selected average print density desired for the simulation
  • Direct printing of simulations requires high resolution graphics and printing capability.
  • the Hewlett Packard HP9845 desktop computer meets both requirements with individual pixel control of graphics on the CRT and printer.
  • Resolution of the HP9845 printer is 77 pixels/inch in both X and Y directions.
  • Initial experiments with various patterns showed that printing alternate rows provided sufficient resolution (38.5 rows/inch vs. 50 wales/inch in the fabric) to represent each wale in a jersey warp knit fabric. Printing alternate rows gives the printouts a subtle linearity resembling the directionality of wales in a warp knit fabric.
  • the first step in the method is obtaining a data set consisting of a yarn property such as denier, modification ratio, yarn shrinkage, or dyeability for each yarn in the fabric.
  • the properties are then averaged according to the stitch pattern in the fabric to produce a wale average property for each wale in the fabric.
  • the simulation program then produces a printout in which the print density (fraction of pixels printed) in each row is given by the equation: Wherein
  • K the contrast factor
  • each yarn end for example, 21-25 in Fig. 1, in the fabric is essential for calculating wale average property (v).
  • v wale average property
  • front bar yarns are of more importance than back bar yarns in fabric uniformity because the back bar yarns in warp knit constructions are "sandwiched" in the fabric interior.
  • denier is the property being simulated, it has been found that front bar yarns make a 75% contribution to uniformity and back bar yarns a 25% contribution.
  • front bar yarns make essentially a 100% contribution to uniformity.
  • the weighted wale average property (in this case, denier) for wale C becomes:
  • wale average deniers are calculated according to equation 2 for each wale in the fabric and the pixel density is calculated according to equation 1.
  • the pixel density is displayed in a series of rows to represent each wale in the fabric as shown in Fig. 2 wherein the simulation of the fabric displaying streaks at locations 40 and 41 closely resembles a fabric knit of the actual yarns whose properties were used for the simulation.
  • the simulation was prepared on a Hewlett Packard HP9845 having a thermal printer programmed according to the flow charts shown in Fig. 4.
  • FIG. 3 An enlarged portion of Fig. 2 is shown in Fig. 3 wherein alternate rows are printed to give subtle linearity and one pixel is represented by a square as designated at 50.
