METHOD FOR MODELING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN A PLURALITY OF MODELS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for modeling interactions between models. SOLUTION: A first adaptively sampled distance field having a first spatial hierarchy for a first model is generated and a second adaptively sampled distance field having a second spatial hierarchy for a second model is generated. A potential overlap region is determined by using the spatial hierarchies of the first and second adaptively sample distance fields during the respective time steps, when the potential overlap region is non-empty, a third adaptively sampled distance field is generated from the first and second adaptively sampled distance fields using a first interaction procedure and first properties, a fourth adaptively sampled distance field is similarly generated using a second interaction procedure and second properties to model the interactions between the first and second models.
