Abstract:
Inertial damping is used to improve the simulation of deformable bodies for physics-based animation. Using this technique, undesirable dynamics of deformable bodies can be suppressed or completely removed while retaining other, more desirable dynamics. An inertial damping module selectively applies inertial damping to a subset of the dynamic modes of a simulated system (e.g., by using the quasi-static solution for these modes or reducing their magnitude). Thus, when the dynamics are simulated, the interactions between modes can be retained while the undesirable effects of the damped modes are reduced or eliminated. The results of the simulation are used to drive a physics-based animation.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method of simulating a system including a deformable body for use in physics-based animation, the method comprising:\n accessing simulation data describing the system to be simulated, the system having a plurality of dynamic modes; determining a current state of the system based on the simulation data; determining a future state of the system from the current state, determining the future state comprising:\n applying inertial damping to reduce a magnitude of a subset of the dynamic modes of the system; and \n simulating the system based on the dynamic modes to determine the future state; and \n providing the future state of the system for use in generating a physics-based animation of the system.
