SOFTWARE APPLICATION FOR SIMULATION OF THE MOISTURE TRANSFER THROUGH APPAREL STRUCTURES ACCORDING TO THE STATUS CONDITIONS OF BODY AND ENVIRONMENTAL C

Summary/Abstract: The software presented in the paper is addressed to the students and researchers working in the functional design of apparel. Making apparel involves a wide range of technical solutions which find their checking in values of comfort characteristics. One of the main features of the comfort characteristics, that it should be taken into account at design of the functional apparel structures, is its ability to allow transfer of water vapor. Because of the high volume of the information on the design of apparel structures with different destinations, the software “Software application for simulation of moisture transfer through apparel structures according to the status conditions of body and environmental conditions - SASIMOT” is required for learning achievement and/or assessment of the knowledge. The checking of quality of apparel structures proposed, according to the environmental conditions and the condition of the body is done by simulating their behavior while wearing, by calculating certain comfort characteristics. The application requires the user option to choose from the database: the destination, the apparel structures which will be designed and the textile materials that compose the clothing products. For the chosen fabrics it will be determined experimentally the thickness and vapor permeability coefficient, which will be the input values. The software performs all calculations on comfort characteristics analyzed, namely the transfer of moisture through textiles, clothing and apparel structures. At the end, the application shows the results. This results can fit or not in domain of accepted values, this resulting from an explained message. If the result is inappropriate, the application software allows resumption calculations by choosing other inputs.
