Claim 23:
24. The data storage retrieval system of claim 20 further including:
vertex viscoelasticity determining means for,
determining surface vertex viscoelasticity values that correspond to 3D locations of surface vertices of primitive volumetric cells within the volume mesh structure; and
determining internal vertex viscoelasticity values that correspond to 3D locations of internal vertices of primitive volumetric cells within the volume mesh structure;
wherein said unified mesh structure further including,
multiple determined surface vertex viscoelasticity values, each associated within the unified mesh structure with a corresponding 3D location of a surface vertex of a primitive volumetric cell included within the volume mesh structure; and
multiple determined internal vertex viscoelasticity values, each associated within the unified mesh structure with a corresponding 3D location of an internal vertex of a primitive volumetric cell included within the volume mesh structure.
