| Abstract : | This paper discusses the application of 3D solid volumetric Finite Element models to surgery simulation. In particular it presents three new approaches to the problem of achieving real-time performance for these models. The simulation system we have developed is described and we demonstrate real-time deformation using the methods developed in the paper., |
