1. A method of designing a product to be worn on a body, the method comprising:

  • creating a product sub-model of the product;

    interacting components of the product sub-model by applying an external force to the product sub-model with an interaction model;

    combining the product sub-model and the interaction model in a use model simulating the interaction between components of the product sub-model to produce as a result of the external force to produce a representation of at least one product feature of the product;

    evaluating the use model to determine the performance of at least one product feature of the product; and

    modifying the product sub-model in response to the determined performance of the product feature and then reperforming the steps of interacting the models and combining the models in the use model and evaluating the use model to design the product.
