Computation for Woven Behavior and Ornamentation

A computational tool was created using Grasshopper/Kangaroo to support the design and ideation of self-shaping woven fabrics by quickly simulating surface relaxation. It can also be used as a design tool for non-textile materials, or simply for exploring the effects of differential shrinkage.
