Claim 30:
31. The method of claim 28 further including:
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 surface vertices of primitive volumetric cells within the volume mesh structure;
associating within the unified mesh structure, the determined surface vertex viscoelasticity values with corresponding 3D locations of surface vertices of primitive volumetric cells within the volume mesh structure; and
associating within the unified mesh structure, the determined internal vertex viscoelasticity values with corresponding 3D locations of internal vertices of primitive volumetric cells within the volume mesh structure.
