Lecture 19: Intro to Physical Simulation (23)

Is structure determined by the type of material being used for the spring? And if so, how do different materials affect how it moves?

I think it's basically determined by what you want to simulate. For example, cloths simulation may use sheets because they are 2D.

Yes, the structure of a spring is determined by the type of material being used. Different materials have different properties that affect how they behave under stress and strain, and this in turn affects how a spring made from that material moves.

I think different materials will change the structure, and when simulating, we need to determine what we want to simulate so that we can decide on the structure.

I wonder how the blocks in terms of out-of-plane bending and shearing (if there are additional linkages between diagonal vertices).
