Folding was simulated by compressing the mesh on both sides. Furthermore one or two layers with different material properties were included. To initiate the folding process, a perturbance-element was placed either in the layers or in the surrounding matrix. This simulation was realised for a different number of layers, the position of the perturbance-element was also varied. In addition to that, the boundary layer was simulated in two different ways (model).
Some of the simulations are presented by their meshes at the start and at the and of the computations, but there are also some animations of the folding process.
