abstract
In this paper, we present a physically based model for real-time
simulation of thread dynamics. Our model captures all the relevant
aspects of the physics of the thread, including quasi-zero elasticity,
bending, torsion and self-collision, and it provides output forces
for the haptic feedback. The physical properties are modeled in
terms of constraints that are iteratively satisȚed while the numerical
integration is carried out through a Verlet scheme. This approach
leads to an unconditionally stable, controllable and computationally
light simulation. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of our model, showing the interaction of the thread with other objects in real time and the creation of complex knots.
