Abstract

The cutting operation of 3D surface meshes plays an important role in surgery simulators. One of the important requirements for surgical simulators is the faithful representation of interaction paths of a surgical tool. We propose a new strategy for cutting on surface meshes: refinement and separate strategy consisting of the refinement followed by the separation of the refined mesh element.The proposed strategy gives the faithful representation of interaction paths.
