چکیده

In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and realism. Furthermore, the model allows the direct integration of experimentally obtained biomechanical tissue parameters. However, computation times remain high, limiting real-time application of the method. In contrast to this, the main advantage of MSS is low computational complexity and simple implementation. These factors make the latter method highly attractive for virtual reality based surgical simulators. However, the specification of system parameters for a MSS (masses, spring constants, mesh topology) is not straightforward and remains a major difficulty of the approach. In this paper, we propose a solution to this problem based on evolutionary algorithms our current focus being the determination of mesh topology. We use reference models to obtain the topology of a MSS. First results demonstrate, that the exact recovery of isotropic and anisotropic reference mesh configurations is possible.

Simultaneous Topology and Stiffness Identification for Mass-Spring Models Based on FEM Reference Deformations

Mass-spring systems are of special interest for soft tissue modeling in surgical simulation due to their ease of implementation and real-time behavior. However, the parameter identification (masses, spring constants, mesh topology) still remains a challenge. In previous work, we proposed an approach based on the training of mass-spring systems according to known reference models. Our initial fo...

Application of molecular modeling with mass-spring systems for computer simulation and animation

This paper demonstrates the use of potential functions of molecular modeling in mass-spring systems. In mass-spring systems, force acting on each mass point is determined by the spring length between linked mass-points. In molecular modeling, forces are calculated using bond length (spring length), bond angle and stretch-bond interactions. Molecular modeling therefore provides more accurate for...
