Matthias Müller, Nuttapong Chentanez, Stefan Jeschke, Miles Macklin Robustly and efficiently simulating cables and ropes that are part of a larger system such as cable driven machines, cable cars or tendons in a human or robot is a challenging task. … Continue reading →

Chinmayee Shah, David Hyde, Hang Qu, and Philip Levis This paper describes a general algorithm and a system for load balancing sparse fluid simulations. Automatically distributing sparse fluid simulations efficiently is challenging because the computational load varies across the simulation … Continue reading →

Tassilo Kugelstadt, Dan Koschier, Jan Bender In this paper we present a novel operator splitting approach for corotated FEM simulations. The deformation energy of the corotated linear material model consists of two additive terms. The first term models stretching in … Continue reading →

Muzaffer Akbay, Nicholas Nobles, Victor Zoran, Tamar Shinar We present a novel extended partitioned method for two-way solid-fluid coupling, where the fluid and solid solvers are treated as black boxes with limited exposed interfaces, facilitating modularity and code reusability. Our … Continue reading →

Antoine Milliez, Bob Sumner, Markus Gross, Bernhard Thomaszewski We present a method for adding artistic control to physics-based hair simulation. Taking as input an animation of a coarse set of guide hairs, we constrain a subsequent higher-resolution simulation of detail … Continue reading →

Xiaowei He, Huamin Wang, Enhua Wu Unified simulation of versatile elastoplastic materials and different dimensions offers many advantages in animation production, contact handling, and hardware acceleration. The unstructured particle representation is particularly suitable for this task, thanks to its simplicity. … Continue reading →

Carlota Soler, Tobias Martin, Olga Sorkine-Hornung We present a novel method to simulate Cosserat rods with Projective Dynamics (PD). The proposed method is both numerically robust and accurate with respect to the underlying physics, making it suitable for a variety … Continue reading →

Yu Fang, Yuanming Hu, Shi-Min Hu, Chenfanfu Jiang Spatially and temporally adaptive algorithms can substantially improve the computational efficiency of many numerical schemes in computational mechanics and physics-based animation. Recently, a crucial need for temporal adaptivity in the Material Point Method … Continue reading →

Junbang Liang, Ming C. Lin Cloth simulations, widely used in computer animation and apparel design, can be computationally expensive for real-time applications. Some parallelization techniques have been proposed for visual simulation of cloth using CPU or GPU clusters and often … Continue reading →
