A method for generating an integrated garment-model simulation is
provided. The method includes scanning a human fit model to acquire first
shape data representative of a portion of the human fit model; defining a
three-dimensional surface simulation based on the first shape data;
combining the surface simulation with medical data to define a model
simulation; acquiring second shape data and material property data
representative of a sample garment; defining a garment simulation based
on the second shape data and the material property data; and combining
the garment simulation with the model simulation to generate the
integrated garment-model simulation.
