Using Simulated Annealing to Obtain Good Nodal Approximations of Deformable Bodies
Sixth Eurographics Workshop on Simulation and Animation: "Computer Animation and Simulation", Springer, 1995, pp. 30-43
In this paper we present a method to obtain good approximations of deformable bodies with spring/mass systems. An iterative algorithm based on voronoi diagrams is used to get a good mass distribution. The elastic properties of the system are optimized by simulated annealing. Results are shown, and some applications are discussed.
