Geometrically-Based Potential Energy for Simulating Deformable Objects

Overview This paper presents a fast and stable technique for simulating deformable objects. Unlike in previous physically-based methods, the potential energy of deformation is purely geometrically-based. It is defined as the L2 norm of the change of the differential coordinates. A key feature of this energy formulation is that the corresponding stiffness matrix is approximately constant, which enables fast and stable implicit integration and large deformations. The algorithm can simulate various effects including solid, thin shell and plasticity. Two schemes are also adopted to accelerate the simulation process: dimensionality reduction in frequency domain and adaptive rotation computation in spatial domain.
