The evaluation of impulses to prevent over-stretching is explained step-by-step. Our impulse approach controls the length of springs by a nonlinear system and then a novel linearization of it into a symmetric positive definite system. The cloth/solid collision handling is integrated into the linearized system seamlessly. Some results based on this method are also presented.10.1111/j.1467-8659.2008.01338.x1901-1907
