[SOLVED] Volumetric Mesh Generation of Woven T-yarn

[Hugo]

Hi @ma1991

Thanks for the details.
Again, modeling yarn (and all collisions / contacts of it) can be very complex.

If I undertstood correctly, you are trying to create a volumetric mesh from a stl mesh, is that corerct? If so, could you share this stl mesh?

But the SOFA community is more for modeling and less for meshing questions.

@Hugo, Thanks for your reply! Yes, I do agree that modeling Fabric is complex and still have to add actuation, actually my research is concerned about modeling.

Yes, I want to create a volumetric mesh from the STL file: https://gofile.io/?c=vn4wFJ

I know meshing is a separate domain, but I didn’t help in other communities about meshing, few who working on fabric meshing, I asked them and they don’t want to share or help.

Thanks for your time!

Hi @Hugo, is there any updates concerning my problem?

Hi @ma1991

Ok, it is a really challenging objective.
Regarding the mesh, you need to make each thread is well independent from the other. I would even go for modeling each thread separately.

But regarding the complexity of your problem, this needs to be discussed more in depth and a forum thread is maybe not the best option. Do you have any expert in numerical analysis and modeling in your team? This is the profile you need here.

@sescaida, the code I am using for generating the volumetric mesh, doesn’t work, the mesh in exported indeed in vtu when I am trying to visualize it gives me an error: there is no tetrahedric topology.

I used the same mesh you fixed earlier, I am baffled what mistake I did, I have other OBJ and I am not able to have a proper vtu mesh.
