REDMAX: Efficient & Flexible Approach for Articulated Dynamics

We propose a new approach that is capable of solving the linearly implicit equations of motion in near linear time. Our method, which we call Red/Max, is built using a combined reduced/maximal coordinate formulation. This hybrid model enables direct flexibility to apply arbitrary combinations of constraints and contact modeling in both reduced and maximal coordinates, as well as mixtures of implicit and explicit forces in either coordinate representation. We highlight Red/Max's flexibility with seamless integration of deformable objects with two-way coupling, at a standard additional cost. We further highlight its flexibility by constructing an efficient internal (joint) and external (environment) frictional contact solver that can leverage bilateral joint constraints for rapid evaluation of frictional articulated dynamics.

Research

Starfish simulation with fully implicit two-way coupling

Starfish Simulation

A starfish with a skeleton consisting 752 of 20 joints and a coarse FEM mesh consisting of 221 vertices. For display and collision, a fine mesh is embedded with 7909 vertices 754 inside the coarse simulation mesh.
1. The material model is co-rotated elasticity, but any material model can be used. To avoid inversion in large deformation, invertible FEM method is applied.
2. The animation is controlled by RED/MAX hybrid dynamics. The locomotion of starfish is controlled procedurally by prescibing joints and some specific points on the skeleton.
3. The rest of the skeleton and the FEM mesh are passively simulated with fully implicit two-way coupling.

Research

Hand simulation with coupled interphalangeal joint motions

Hand Simulation

We simulate a human hand using hyper reduced coordinates on the most distal joint(DIP) / the second most distal joint(PIP) of the four fingers.
1. The animation is controlled by RED/MAX hybrid dynamics.
2. The fingertip positions are prescribed using maximal inverse dynamics.
3. The elbow angle is prescribed using reduced inverse dynamics.

Physically Based Modeling

Rigid Body Simulation

The rigid body simulator simulates the dynamics of rigid body linkage system using maximal coordinates and reduced coordinates. The user can:
1. Decide the number of rigid bodies, the tree structure of the joints (branching, loop, etc).
2. Add constraints such as joint angle limits.
3. Add springy object such as springs, deformable objects, etc.

Realtime Fluid Simulation

CFD simulation

CFD Simulation

The CFD simulator allows the user to load a background image and paint density/obstruction into the scene. The user can:
1. Interactively change several related parameters: gravity constant, the size of time step, the number of Gauss-Seidel iteration desired, the number of iterations of Iterated Orthogonal Projections desired, etc.
2. Turn on/off three forces in the density field: Bouyant gravity force, Surface tension force, Vorticity confinement force.
3. Change between three advection schemes and compare their differences: Semi-Lagrangian, BFECC, Modified MacCormack(MM).

Realtime Fluid Simulation

3D SPH Simulation

3D SPH system

This project implements a 3D SPH system. The forces include the Tait equation of state, viscosity, and gravity. The simulator can run with thousands of particles, and allows interactive (keyboard) adjustment of the following set of parameters: kernel radius, viscosity strength, gravity strength, Tait parameters for strength, power, and base density.
