Abstract
The twist angle is an important parameter of the yarn which determines the degree and shape of the filament’s deformation produced along their length. So, in this paper, a 3D numerical modelling of filaments assemblies has been developed. The twist behaviour of the multifilament was simulated using ABAQUS finite element package by modelling the yarns as 3D continuum elements. The distribution of filament helix angle according to the radial position of the yarn is evaluated. Results show that the helix angle draws near zero in the yarn axis but does not fall to zero in presence of migration, and becomes bigger as the filaments are positioned on the surface. Moreover, the twist angle is calculated for different twist level which proves that twist angle is highly affected by torsion level. The target of the research was to establish a relationship between twist angle, twist value and yarn linear density for a series of models varying in the filament radius, twist value and filament number.
