Hello everyone,
I’ve been working with the deformable bodies functionality in IsaacSim, following the documentation available here: Deformable Bodies in Omniverse.
While the docs provide a solid foundation, I’m looking for additional scientific literature or references that dive deeper into the implementation of deformable bodies using Finite Element Methods (FEM) combined with Position-Based Simulation (PBS).
I’ve already come across relevant literature on position-based dynamics, such as:
- Müller, M., Heidelberger, B., Hennix, M., and Ratcliff, J. 2007. Position-Based Dynamics, which includes discussions on cloth simulation models.
However, this paper doesn’t cover the specifics of deformable bodies based on FEM.
I’m particularly interested in:
- The theoretical aspects of FEM in the context of real-time simulation of deformable objects.
- Papers or resources that explain how FEM can be integrated with PBS for deformable body dynamics.
- Any advanced techniques or optimizations that could enhance both accuracy and performance for such simulations.
If anyone has experience in this area or can point me towards relevant academic papers, publications, or technical resources that deal with FEM in position-based simulation for deformable bodies, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!
