Hi,
If you have inclined yarns and a rectangular domain then this will cut the yarns. Whether this is problematic will depend on how you are using the model and how you specify your boundary conditions.
If you have created your sheared textile using the weave wizard then you can select the 'Create sheared domain' option to create a domain which is angled to match the yarn angles. If you have created your textile using a script then you can specify the domain planes yourself. There is an example towards the end of the script here: http://texgen.sourceforge.net/index.php ... lain_weave

I hope that helps,
Louise
