Difference between stress map and strain map

Comments

    Hi r901207 and ottoline,

    Thank you for sharing your questions, please let me clarify the features of Stress Map and Strain Map. 

     

    Stress Map shows how much pressure is in the fabric per section resulting from a tight-fitting garment. So users can see how much stress value from an avatar is applying to a garment. 

    You can refer to the colour to preview the stress value initially. Blue means zero stress (0.00kPa) while red means the strongest stress (100kPa).

    When clicking on a point of a garment, the kPa value of the exact location appears. A higher kPa value means the stronger stress is applied from avatar to garment, and vice versa.

    Here is an example: The waist part is in Red colour and 103.81 kPa is showed when user is pointing that part. So you can realize the waist part is quite tight for the avatar and you may need to double-check that part and modify the 2D patterns if needed.

     

    Stain Map shows how much the garment is stretched when being worn. So users can see the distortion rate from 2D patterns to 3D patterns (garment) on avatar. 

    You can refer to the colour to preview the distortion rate initially. Blue means 100% of the distortion rate, which means no distortion and keep the original pattern stretch. And Red means 120% of the distortion rate. 

    When clicking on a point of a garment, the percentage of distortion of the exact location appears. A higher percentage value means more distortion between 2D patterns and the 3D patterns (garment) on avatar, and vice versa.

    Here is an example: you can see the distortion rate is 119.11% in the image below. Then you can calculate the difference by 119.11% - 100% = 19.11%. At last, you can according to the distortion rate then modify the 2D patterns if needed.

    Huh - There's a dedicated PDF guide?

    I missed that handy link in the online manual !

    https://support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000436368-Garment-Fit-Maps

    Maybe that is where the link might also be placed, under the 'Manual' topic?

    Or in the related topics to the side menu ?

    https://support.clo3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012227287-Strain-Map

    " ...obscure content that cannot be readily found is - no information, for the un-informed ..."  >  I read that in my 'crystal-ball' I would have needed to consult to find that handy bit of information burrowed deep in the online help but certainly not linked in the manual
