In general, weaving involves the interlacing of two sets of threads at right angles to each other: the warp and the weft. The warp is the set of lengthwise threads that are held under tension on a weaving machine. The thread inserted above and below the warp threads is called weft. In GeoDict the weft threads are oriented in the X-direction and the warp threads are oriented in the Y-direction.

WeaveGeo allows to generate a large variety of different weaving structures by combining the available options. These options include different weaving patterns, weaving types, thread types and thread parameters (e.g. shape, size and material). Additionally, the weaving structure can be completely user-defined with the Complex Multi-Layer Weave option.

The choice of weave style (pattern and type) and thread material determines the final properties of the woven structure, such as weight, wettability, stability, flexibility, porosity, or smoothness.
