Contact is ubiquitous and often unavoidable and yet modeling contacting systems continues
to stretch the limits of available computational tools. In part this is due to the unique hurdles …

Soft slender structures are ubiquitous in natural and artificial systems, in active and passive
settings and across scales, from polymers and flagella, to snakes and space tethers. In this …

We extend the incremental potential contact (IPC) model for contacting elastodynamics to
resolve systems composed of codimensional DOFs in arbitrary combination. This enables a …

The typical elastic surface or curve simulation method takes a Lagrangian approach and
consists of three components: time integration, collision detection and collision response …

Flagella and cilia are slender structures that serve important functionalities in the
microscopic world through their locomotion induced by fluid and structure interaction. With …

The large-scale mechanical behavior of woven cloth is determined by the mechanical
properties of the yarns, the weave pattern, and frictional contact between yarns. Using …

Lagrangian/Eulerian hybrid strand-based hair simulation techniques have quickly become a
popular approach in VFX and real-time graphics applications. With Lagrangian hair …

Cloth dynamics plays an important role in the visual appearance of moving characters.
Properly accounting for contact and friction is of utmost importance to avoid cloth-body and …

We present a framework for the simulation of rigid and deformable bodies in the presence of
contact and friction. Our method is based on a non-smooth Newton iteration that solves the …

We show that many existing elastic body simulation approaches can be interpreted as
descent methods, under a nonlinear optimization framework derived from implicit time …
