20150186565 | AUGMENTED MATERIAL POINT METHOD FOR SIMULATING PHASE CHANGES AND VARIED MATERIALS - The disclosure provides an approach for simulating and rendering materials across different states and undergoing phase transitions. In one configuration, a simulation application generates video frames depicting a material phenomenon using an augmented material point method (MPM). Traditional MPM does not handle incompressible materials such as fluids. Techniques disclosed herein augment the MPM with a Chorin-style projection technique to enable simulation of arbitrarily incompressible materials. In one configuration, this is achieved with a marker-and-cell (MAC) grid based MPM solver, a splitting of stress used in the simulation into elastic and dilational parts, a projection-like implicit treatment of the Eulerian evolution of the dilational part of the stress, and particular techniques for rasterizing and updating quantities on the MAC grid. In addition, a heat model may be coupled to the MPM solver, allowing material changes to be driven with temperature and phase changes. | 07-02-2015 |
20150187116 | MATERIAL POINT METHOD FOR SIMULATION OF GRANULAR MATERIALS - The disclosure provides an approach for simulating and rendering granular materials. A simulation application generates video frames depicting a granular material phenomenon using a strain based elasto-plastic constitutive model integrated with a hybrid Eulerian/Lagrangian material point method (MPM). The elasto-plastic constitutive model includes physical equation(s) which dictate forces that affect the granular material during the simulation. In particular, the constitutive model may include user-controllable parameters defining threshold(s) to start plastic deformation, as well as a hardening parameter which controls how fast the granular material packs under compression. The MPM is a procedure in which particles of the granular material and a background grid are coupled, with the grid being used to assist in computing forces dictated by the physical equation(s) of the elasto-plastic constitutive model. In one configuration, the grid may further be rendered with volumetric rendering to generate video frames depicting the granular material. | 07-02-2015 |

20120281019 | EFFICIENT ELASTICITY FOR CHARACTER SKINNING - A novel algorithmic framework is presented for the simulation of hyperelastic soft tissues that drastically improves each aspect discussed above compared to existing techniques. The approach is robust to large deformation (even inverted configurations) and extremely stable by virtue of careful treatment of linearization. Additionally, a new multigrid approach is presented to efficiently support hundreds of thousands of degrees of freedom (rather than the few thousands typical of existing techniques) in a production environment. Furthermore, these performance and robustness improvements are guaranteed in the presence of both collision and quasistatic/implicit time stepping techniques. The result is a significant advance in the applicability of hyperelastic simulation to skeleton driven character skinning. | 11-08-2012 |
