Dynamic Element Layout Cutting Reconstruction in Elastic Gradational Element Model

Abstract

A fast computation elastic model for real-time processing, 'gradational element resolution model' was developed, constructed by a small number of elements. This paper realizes the function of cutting objects. Object deconstruction by cutting is fundamentally performed by releasing vertex sharing between elements. When more than a given amount of force is worked to separate a pair of elements, connections between them are released. Elastic element layout and vertex sharing are reconstructed according to shape metamorphosis by cutting interaction. The reconstruction process is limited and influenced by the metamorphosis to avoid increase in motion computation time.
