About TexGen

TexGen is an open-source software tool developed by the University of Nottingham for modeling, simulating, and analyzing complex textile structures including woven, knitted, and braided fabrics. The software enables researchers, engineers, and manufacturers in composites, aerospace, automotive, and textile industries to create precise geometric models of fiber architectures and predict mechanical properties. TexGen supports virtual prototyping, reducing physical testing costs and accelerating product development cycles. The platform offers advanced visualization, finite element analysis integration, and parametric design capabilities. Through AiDOOS marketplace deployment, organizations gain access to enterprise-grade governance, managed infrastructure, professional support services, and seamless integration with CAD/FEA workflows. AiDOOS enables scalable licensing, version management, and collaborative project delivery across distributed teams, transforming TexGen from academic software into production-ready engineering solutions for industrial-scale composite manufacturing.
