A key requirement in 3D fabrication is to generate objects with individual exterior shapes
and their interior being optimized to application-specific force constraints and low material …

In the present paper, a new method for solving three-dimensional topology optimization
problem is proposed. This method is constructed under the so-called moving morphable …

Purpose In surgical navigation, pre-operative organ models are presented to surgeons
during the intervention to help them in efficiently finding their target. In the case of soft tissue …

We provide an overview of metaphors that were used in medical visualization and related
user interfaces. Metaphors are employed to translate concepts from a source domain to a …

Background Virtual cutting of deformable objects has been a research topic for more than a
decade and has been used in many areas, especially in surgery simulation. Methods We …

Virtual cutting of deformable bodies has been an important and active research topic in
physically based modelling and simulation for more than a decade. A particular challenge in …

Virtual cutting of deformable objects is at the core of many applications in interactive
simulation and especially in computational medicine. The ability to simulate surgical cuts …

We describe the SOniCS (SOFA+ FEniCS) plugin to help develop an intuitive understanding
of complex biomechanics systems. This new approach allows the user to experiment with …

One of the major challenges in physically based modelling is making simulations efficient.
Adaptive models provide an essential solution to these efficiency goals. These models are …

We present a remeshing‐free brittle fracture simulation method under the assumption of
quasi‐static linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). To achieve this, we devise two …
