Parallel Real-time Deformation Simulator

Basic Overview

The project about Parallel Real-time Deformation Simulator focus on haptic rendering of deformable bodies (considering the behavior of particular organs) which enables a user to interact with virtual objects that gets deformed according to applied forces. It can be utilized in the process of medical education and training.

Main characteristics of Parides:

on-line computation: provides real-time interactions on model immediately
off-line computation: provides real-time interactions on precomputed model
supported FEM (finite element method): StVenant-Kirchhoff, Mooney-Rivlin
supported computation over heterogeneous compute sources
graphical user interface: used OpenGL
haptical interface: used OpenHaptic
