Abstract

The physical structure of organisms can be modelled as a set of coupled hydraulic entities. The hydropneumatic biosimulation is a methodology that is able to simulate the behavior (like movements) of such organisms on the physical level in a biological correct way. Hydropneumatic simulation heavily relies on visualisation: the simulation model is visually constructed and the simulation results are presented visually to the user. This case study presents an approach, how a visualisation of the results of a hydropneumatic biosimulation can be obtained by integrating the biological simulation model with a Computer Graphics geometry model.
