Incremental Potential Contact (IPC) is for robust and accurate time stepping of nonlinear elastodynamics. IPC guarantees intersection- and inversion-free trajectories regardless of materials, time-step sizes, velocities, or deformation severity.
I was wondering if you could help me write a new Animation case that applies a normal force to the surface nodes of the mesh.
The algorithm would go something like this:
Calculate normals at either nodes or elements (then average them in 1 ring to get at nodes)
Apply a prescribed magnitude force at each node on the external surface in the normal direction
The use case is that I want to apply both an internal/external pressure to a cylinder
Obviously, this is an enhancement and just looking for some help
