Interactive cutting of finite elements based deformable objects in virtual environments
… allowed for adapting selected methods known from engineering sciences for interactive simulation. The simulation of cutting is especially challenging though, as most methods suffer from both performance and stability issues. Although a number of approaches have been presented over the last decade, …
