Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of simulating a deformation of a deformable object, the method comprising:
- defining an actual shape based on a deformed state of an deformable object, wherein the actual shape comprises a plurality of actual data points;
defining a goal shape based on a non-deformed state of the deformable object, wherein the goal shape comprises a plurality of goal data points corresponding to the plurality of actual data points; and
updating parameters of each actual data point according to a position of a corresponding goal data point in the goal shape.

Abstract
A method of stimulating a deformable object comprises modeling deformable elasticity for the object by defining an actual shape and a goal shape and pulling points in the goal shape towards corresponding points in the goal shape.
