Needle Insertion Plugin
Keywords: Simulation - Needle insertion - Haptic feedback
Functional Description: This plugin contains needle/tissue interaction models for real time simulations of needle insertion in deformable objects using the open-source sofa framework. This allows for modeling the different forces playing a role during the insertion process (penetration forces, friction along the shaft...) using a constrained-based formulation. This formulation provides a fast and stable solution for the simulation of complex insertions (and reinsertion) of the needle in deformable Finite Element models.
