Abstract:
An increasingly important tool in the automotive and manufacturing industry is virtual product realization. One challenge here is real-time simulation of deformation of thin 2-dimensional objects, such as metal sheets and rubber grommets. The undeformed shape of these objects are often defined by importing a high detail CAD model. In order to meet the real-time simulation requirement the calculations needs to be carried out with respect to a coarse representation of the object. For each simulation step the resulting (coarse) representation of the deformed object then needs to be visualized with the high detail of the original CAD model. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how to recreate the original detail of a two- dimensional object out of a deformed coarse representation of it. The proposed method uses local surface interpolation to map points from the detailed representation back onto the coarse representation after simulation.
