Hi Louise,

Thank you very much for your reply. It works. Thanks for your kind help.

Hi Louise, I want to know if there is a way to generate textile model and output the voxel mesh through a terminal (without GUI). Let's say we have the python script, which can run through GUI->Python->Run script.... Now I want to run this script through terminal by typing something like "$ pyt...

Hi Louise, If my understanding is correct, .ori file is used to define materials local coordinates as described in Abaqus document. According to the abaqus document, the first three can be used to define e1' which is actually the same as fiber direction, while the next three is a point "b"...

Hi Louise, Thank you for your reply. TexGen is very powerful in textile geometry generation which significant reduces the labors in generating textile model. It helps me a lot in my research, and please check the link for our recent accepted paper (Liu, X.; Rouf, K.; Peng, B.; and Yu, W.: "Two-...

Hi Louise, We develop TexGen as GUI and model generator for our own software SwiftComp to compute effective properties of textile composites, and the source codes are available through cdmhub (https://cdmhub.org/resources/texgen4sc/supportingdocs) under GPL. Thank you for providing such a good tool....

Hi Louise, Thank you very much for your reply and help. We are going to add citation about TexGen on our website, can you tell me which citation should I use? I found several papers like "Long, A. C., and L. P. Brown. "Modelling the geometry of textile reinforcements for composites: TexGen...

Hi Louise, Thank you for your reply. The citation is automatically generated by the website, but I will contact the administrator to see if he can add another citation for TexGen. SwiftComp is an independent executable file, and I just added the codes to transform TexGen output to SwiftComp input an...

Dear All, I just began to work on TexGen and found it is really a wonderful tool for the researchers who are studying textile materials. This topic is just for displaying issue and it will not affect any core functions, but it will make TexGen more user-friendly if this issue can be fixed. I encount...

Hi Louise, Thank you for you reply. Let me briefly introduce what am doing with TexGen. My group is studying constitutive modeling of composite materials. If my understanding is correct, TexGen is mainly focused on generating the geometry of woven fabrics and provides input files and scripts for oth...

Hi Louise, I followed your instructions and made an installer. It works on my computer (64 bits Windows 7) and it can also be installed on another 64 bits windows 10 machine. However, after I installed it on that windows 10 computer, I cannot open it. I double clicked the "TexGenGUI.exe", ...

Hi Louise,

Thank you for your reply. I followed your instructions and it works, but I don't have "TexGen.chm" and "TexGenGUI.exe.manifest" files, so I removed them from the installer script, I hope it will not have bad effects on the code.

Thanks

Dear all, I have compiled texgen on 64 bit windows on my desktop. Now I want to use the compiled TexGenGUI.exe on another computer. I understand it will not work if I only copy TexGenGUI.exe to the other computer, so I want to know what other files I need to copy along with TexGenGUI.exe so that it ...

Dear Louise, Thank you for your reply.The problem is resolved. The error is because that I didn't build install VTK, then all the required files are in the vtk-source folder/bin/release. While running cmake will give errors if you don't choose the vtk folder contains *.cmake, so the errors come due ...

Dear all, I am trying to compile TexGen on 64 bits windows system. Here are the third-party products version: swigwin: 2.0.10 vtk: 5.10.1 wxMSW: 2.8.12 Python: 2.7 Now I haven't add cascade export function yet, and want to compile other functions using VS2013. VTK and wxMSW are already compiled usin...
