Abstract

Computer based systems and methods for designing and manufacturing consumer products, including knit footwear uppers, and the like. The system simulates deformations of knit structures and allows the user to control and visualize compensations in the structure(s) of the knitted component to better match between an intended knit design and the actual physical knitted component outcome. The system may modify a knit design of a knitted component to compensate for a predicted/estimated deformation behavior of the knitted component, for example, by duplicating one or more portions of a knit structure associated with the knit design.
