Abstract

Physics-based simulation models have been long studied in computer graphics. The current trend is to capture complex physical phenomena that have multi-physics, multi-scale, and multi-modality. Meanwhile, the advent of digital manufacturing techniques is also striking. The barrier of making objects with complex geometries and materials constantly lowers down. The confluence of numerical simulation models and powerful digital fabrication inspires us to rethink the design of objects that can be digitally manufactured. In this paper, I will present our work on physics-based simulation models and their use in various design tasks. I will show that seamless integration of simulation models into the design process opens the door to optimal, unrealized, and even unconventional product designs.
