Mesh-optimizatiation for deformable objects.

[Anonymous]

I am searching for an algorithm which optimizes a deformable tetrahedral mesh so that the computation time for the simulation is reduced. Is there anything out there yet? Thank for your help.

Hi @slin25

Thank you for this interesting question.
I never heard about a routine optimizing the mesh for computation time. I know the Defrost team worked on Control Design, i.e. an optimization process of robot shape so that the simulation “converges faster and with reduced oscillations to a desired equilibrium state”.

To run several SOFA simulations, they are using the sofa-launcher application available in SOFA.

I hope this answers your question.
Best wishes,

Hugo
