The system works on personal computers, has graphical user interface and requires minimal input to indicate how to sew and put on the dress. The system automatically generates triangular mesh and calculates the mechanically stable state (i.e. no dynamics) of the dress put on the designated body. Pattern of the cloth can be mapped on the 3D shape and the distribution of stress can be also displayed. Fast simulation is achieved by our original method for function minimization.
