abstract     : In this paper, we present a versatile and robust model for
geometrically complex deformable solids. Our approach
can be applied to deformable tetrahedral meshes and to
deformable triangle meshes. The model considers elastic
and plastic deformation. It handles a large variety of
material properties ranging from stiff to fluid-like behavior.
Due to the computational efficiency of our approach,
complex environments consisting of up to several thousand
primitives can be simulated at interactive speed.
The presented approach to deformable modeling is
part of a simulation environment with integrated collision
handling for tetrahedral meshes. For visualization
purposes, tetrahedral meshes can be coupled with highresolution
surface meshes. Results are presented for deformable
tetrahedral meshes and for deformable triangle
meshes which are used to represent cloth and discrete
shells.
