History has seen mankind expressing his art on fabrics
using complex weave structures to enliven forms, motifs
and nature to create tapestry, carpets, furnishings. Millions
of interlacements are painstakingly defined to create
a weave plan which earlier took months at a stretch. Design
Jacquard is a tribute to our
predeccosors wherein an array of tools is provided for
creating artwork interactively, facilities to create and
attribute weaves to the artwork. It goes further in simulating
the fabric and transfers the design to Electronic Jacquard
for flawless weaving. Here goes a brief on working...
 Design
Editing in Grid
Allows you to edit the artwork keeping
in perspective the differing Warp and Weft densities.
You can edit the design in grid mode for greater accuracy
by using a range of drawing, painting and editing tools
provided.
Variable brush size with differing X,
Y thickness can be used in tandem with the freehand,
geometric, beizer and advanced editing tools such as
auto outline, bandani, etc, with multiple UNDO &
REDO functions.
Color shield facility while editing and
copy paste functions enabling protection of intricate
motifs.
Naturally all editing features are used
in the online editing mode with various repeat types
such as Straight, Cross, Mirror X, Y and X-Y
Navigator allows easy access to different
design areas while editing in Zoom/GRID mode.
facility to insert hooks / picks in artwork stage.

Weave Creation
Single and multi layered weave structures
can be achieved easily.
Auto satin and twill generator to
create satin weaves with varying repeat and steps.
Weave library provided for better
management of weaves and simple drag and drop
function in combining weaves at pre-defined intervals
to create fascinating weave structures.
|
Complex weaves can be easily created by
combining basic weaves by way of simple assignment to
the warp and weft interlacement pointsand specifying
the number of repeats..Thus a otherwise cumbersome operation
is simply reduced to a couple of clicks.
Auto generation of weaves by simply importing
Bitmaps images adds to your creative abilities.
 |
Weave Mapper
Facilitates assignning of weaves
to different areas of artwork denoted by different
colors. A simple mouse click creates the detailed
Weave plan on graph.
Front and Back weaves can be viewed
simultaneously for better understanding of the
final fabric quality.
Extra Warp and extra weft weaves
can be created to give a special touch to your
dextrous creation.
|
Number of hooks required for the design
can be varied online and the fabric effect can be viewed.
Graph can be viewed in mono, artwork,
warp and weft colors for editing and evaluation.
Automatic and manual find float facilities
to locate warp / weft floats exceeding specified limits.
You can assign unique colors for warp and weft floats
for ease of control and editing. The floats can be edited
using the brush tool.
|
Simulation of Fabrics
Presenting your concepts in a realistic
way at a click of a button and no extra cost is
what this feature aims at be it an internal evaluation
or a sales presentation , a good simulation is
the acid test of your efforts.
Simulation is further enhanced by
using yarns created or scanned directly into the
library. The yarn editor allows you to work on
parameters such as twist, colors, thickness, etc
to generate chenile, fancy, slubs, melanges, twisted,
and all types of yarn effects.
|
|
You can vary the different parameters
of a design or edit the design and observe the result
instanteneously.
The simulated output can be further tested
on a 3D CAD system.
Computer Aided Manufacturing
Compatible auxillary modules for electronic
jacquards like Bonas, Staubli, Grosse, etc enable transfer
of design details in the electronic form.
 |
Easily configurable cast out facility
for defining hooks which have been reassigned
from thier normal position in your harness ends.
Graphical and easy to use interface.User
can define a basic casting sequence which can
be replicated across the harness or user specified
range, with a single click.
Casting files can be saved enabling
management of different harness arrangements within
the same shed.
|
Weft selector, cramming, terry, fringing
can be defined in the function file. Variable weft density
can also be specified in the electronic function file.
| Graphs
can be printed for manual card punching, or the
design information can be transfered to Electronic
Card Punching machine for punching hard card / continous
paper punched cards.
