Dynamic thermal comfort numerical simulation model on 3D garment CAD

We presented a new simulation algorithm on thermal Comfort of 3D Garment Computer Aided Design. The manikin is created and meshed by rational W recurrence curves and recurrence surfaces in multivariate B-form, and we modified 25 point heat and moisture physiology model, and brought forward the 3D dynamic model of heat and moisture transfer. We integrated these three models to simulate man's thermal comfort, and the integrated model has been realized in the system of our intelligent 3D Garment CAD, the result shows the simulation system has the high speed, high interactive capability, and easy to implement.
