Methods to compress simulation data are invaluable as they facilitate efficient transmission along the visual effects pipeline, fast and efficient replay of simulations for visualization and enable storage of scientific ...

We propose a viewpoint selection method for time-varying liquid shapes in order to select the best viewpoint for liquid animations. First, viewpoint evaluation is performed by a combination of three evaluation terms; ...

Soft robots are attractive because they have the potential of being safer, faster and cheaper than traditional rigid robots. If we can predict the shape of a soft robot for a given set of control parameters, then we can ...

Abstract We propose a new approach for the simulation of wood as anisotropic material that takes its inherent fiber structure into account. Our approach is based on the Position-based Dynamics framework. We use the Shape ...

Unsteady Stokes solvers, coupling stress and pressure forces, are a key component of accurate free surface simulators for highly viscous fluids. Because of the simultaneous application of stress and pressure terms, this ...

Finite element (FE) simulations are prone to encountering negative Jacobians during the solving process. If nothing is done, the simulation can be brought to a halt, result in inverted elements or have undetermined behavior. ...

We present separable Poisson filters to accelerate the projection step in Eulerian fluid simulation. These filters are analytically computed offline and are easy to integrate into any fluid algorithm with a Poisson pressure ...
