Abstract
Movement of a soft body is simulated by defining its surface as an arbitrary mesh of points connected by edges. Each point is represented as a point mass, subject to conventional laws of motion. The simulator represents forces acting on the point masses, namely skin forces connecting pairs of point masses and volumetric forces for maintaining relative positions with no net linear or rotational forces on the soft body.
