First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- representing a web of material with a computer based model of the web, wherein the model includes a first web contact layer with first contact objects and a carrier layer with carrier elements, wherein the first web contact layer is joined to the carrier layer;
representing a first contact surface with a computer based model of the first contact surface;
transforming the computer based model of the web, by modeling a physical behavior of the web as the web moves and as at least a portion of the web interacts with at least a portion of the first contact surface, to form a transformed web; and
representing the transformed web with a computer based model of the transformed web.

28. A computer readable medium having instructions for causing a device to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
representing a web of material with a computer based model of the web, wherein the model includes a first contact layer with first contact objects and an carrier layer with carrier elements, wherein the first contact layer is joined to the carrier layer; representing a first contact surface with a computer based model of the first contact surface; transforming the computer based model of the web, by modeling a physical behavior of the web as the web moves and as at least a portion of the web contacts at least a portion of the first contact surface, wherein at least some of the first contact objects are contacting the model of the first contact surface, to form a transformed web; and representing the transformed web with a computer based model of the transformed web. - View Dependent Claims (29)
