SoftCon: Simulation and Control of Soft-Bodied Animals with Biomimetic Actuators

Posted on November 23, 2019 by christopherbatty

We present a novel and general framework for the design and control of underwater soft-bodied animals. The whole body of an animal consisting of soft tissues is modeled by tetrahedral and triangular FEM meshes. The contraction of muscles embedded in … Continue reading →

X-CAD: Optimizing CAD Models with Extended Finite Elements

Posted on November 23, 2019 by christopherbatty

Christian Hafner, Christian Schumacher, Espen Knoop, Thomas Auzinger, Bernd Bickel, Moritz Bächer We propose a novel generic shape optimization method for CAD models based on the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM). Our method works directly on the intersection between the … Continue reading →
