A new model for particle-level simulation of forming was developed. A set of process parameters and a statistical description of the stock were provided as inputs to the model and a three-dimensional model paper was produced. This allowed the analyses of the relations between process parameters and structural properties of the formed sheet. Numerical experiments were set up to study the effects of the yarns of the forming fabric on the surface distributions of fillers and fines and to investigate the fibre orientation anisotropy and specific formation as functions of the jet-to-wire speed ratio.
