Semi-Implicit Pairwise Descent for Nonlocal Continuum Mechanics

A new continuum mechanics solver aims to make million-scale hyperelastic simulation practical in real time, even with heavy contact and friction. Semi-Implicit Pairwise Descent reformulates FEM motion into pairwise forces, …

Robust and Efficient Penetration-Free Elastodynamics without Barriers

A 2026 TOG paper claims penetration-free elastodynamics can be made robust without relying on barrier terms, which is the part that usually makes deformable-body solvers finicky. For game teams, that …
