Abstract
This paper explores the possibility of employing a surface model for volume
simulation. The issues are the non-existence of internal volume that causes
object collapse and the physical properties estimation of the model.
Therefore, properties distribution scheme based on a mass spring system is
proposed where values for mass and the inner support spring stiffness at the
nodes are estimated based on the relationship of the surface nodes to the
object centre. Local and global volume behaviours are preserved when the
surface model is simulated under the influence of gravity, deformed by
external forces and topologically refined. The proposed scheme contributes
towards the employment of a deformable surface model for soft volume
simulation with haptic interaction.
