Real-time Simulation of Human Musculature

We present a reduced model based on position based dynamics for real-time simulation of human musculature. We demonstrate our methods on the muscles of the human arm. Co-simulation of all the muscles of the human arm allow us to accurately track the development of stresses and strains in the muscles, when the arm is moved. We evaluate our method for accuracy by comparing it with gold standard simulation models based on finite volume methods, and demonstrate the stability of the method under flexion, extension and torsion.
