Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2007 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Munich (Institut fur Informatik), 169 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In this thesis, I present a framework for physical simulation and visualization of deformable volumetric bodies in real time. Based on the implicit finite element method a multigrid approach for the efficient numerical simulation of elastic materials has been developed. Due to the optimized implementation of the multigrid scheme, 200,000 elements can be simulated at a...
