Abstract

One embodiment relates to a method for detecting self-contact in a simulated object. The method includes detecting contact region within a simulated model, classifying the contact region in the model. The method further includes fixing the contact region by at least one of moving a node in the model, local modification and Boolean operation and creating a tetrahedral mesh after fixing the contact region.
