Abstract

This paper describes the integration of deformable objects into a VR assembly simulation. The deformable objects are flexible hoses, which are simulated using corotational beams. The simulation is enhanced by specific load cases in order to fully match the needs of the assembly tasks. A virtual reality system is used as an intuitive man-machine interface to the calculation model. Comparisons between the results obtained by this system and classical finite element programs are given to obtain an error estimate for the simulation.
