How would we model fabric with the spring structure? Would we use a simple 2D mesh or would we also have to include red springs from the previous slide for resisting to out-of-plane bending?

I think we would need the red springs and the other springs from the previous slides since it looks like we're supposed to implement it in the project. I think it's necessary to give a realistic form to the fabric when interacting with other forces.

Modeling fabric with a spring structure can be done in a variety of ways, depending on the level of detail and complexity required for the specific application. A simple 2D mesh can be used to model the behavior of a fabric under normal loading conditions, where the fabric is primarily subjected to tensile stresses. The springs in the mesh can be arranged in a regular pattern to represent the weave of the fabric, with different spring constants used to model the different types of yarns or fibers in the fabric.
