  • Title: An efficient method for modelling soft tissue in virtual environment training systems.
    Author: Wills DP, Chapman PM.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2001; 81():570-6. PubMed ID: 11317812.
    Abstract:
    Modelling soft tissues in virtual environment training systems is frequently required. The provision of both visually compelling and physically accurate models presents a number of problems for the developer. The Finite element technique presented in this paper, modal analysis, can be programmed to allow the user to easily trade-off accuracy of simulation for execution speed. It has been successfully used to produce simulations of the lateral meniscus on low powered portable computer systems.
