A Macroblock Optimization for Grid-Based Nonlinear Elasticity

Nathan Mitchell, Michael Doescher, Eftychios Sifakis We introduce a new numerical approach for the solution of grid-based discretizations of nonlinear elastic models. Our method targets the linearized system of equations within each iteration of the Newton method, and combines elements … Continue reading

Constrained Neighbor Lists for SPH-based Fluid Simulations

Rene Winchenbach, Hendrik Hochstetter, Andreas Kolb In this paper we present a new approach to create neighbor lists with strict memory bounds for incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations. Our proposed approach is based on a novel efficient predictive-corrective algorithm … Continue reading

Topology-Aware Neighborhoods for Point-Based Simulation and Reconstruction

Florian Canezin, Gael Guennebaud, Loïc Barthe Particle based simulations are widely used in computer graphics. In this field, several recent results have improved the simulation itself or improved the tension of the final fluid surface. In current particle based implementations, the particle … Continue reading

Compressing Fluid Subspaces

Aaron Demby Jones, Pradeep Sen, Theodore Kim Subspace fluid simulations, also known as reduced-order simulations, can be extremely fast, but also require basis matrices that consume an enormous amount of memory. Motivated by the extreme sparsity of Laplacian eigenfunctions in … Continue reading

Asynchronous Implicit Backward Euler Integration

Danyong Zhao, Yijing Li, Jernej Barbic In standard deformable object simulation in computer animation, all the mesh elements or vertices are timestepped synchronously, i.e., under the same timestep. Previous asynchronous methods have been largely limited to explicit integration. We demonstrate … Continue reading

Real-time Simulation of Large Elasto-Plastic Deformation with Shape Matching

Nuttapong Chentanez, Matthias Müller, Miles Macklin Shape matching is a popular method for simulating deformable objects in real time as it is fast and stable at large time steps. Although shape matching can simulate large elastic deformation and ductile fracturing, until … Continue reading

Position and Orientation Based Cosserat Rods

Tassilo Kugelstadt, Elmar Schoemer We present a novel method to simulate bending and torsion of elastic rods within the position-based dynamics (PBD) framework. The main challenge is that torsion effects of Cosserat rods are described in terms of material frames … Continue reading
