| 3D Layout is used to define the structure of a sail in terms of
yarn layouts, panel layouts, tape layouts, yarn density, and/or film
types. Output from 3D Layout is used to shape 3DL molds or provide seam
curves for paneled sails. All yarns are plotted in the same
3-dimensional space they will assume when sailing. 3D shapes are
translated into panel layouts for downwind sails. 3D Layout also has
powerful analytical tools which can be used independently or in
conjunction with Membrain. |
