Abstract
A major requirement for surgical simulation is to allow virtual tissue cutting. This paper presents a scalable and adaptive cutting technique based on a mass-spring mesh. By the analogy of digital logic design, an arbitrary incision is modeled systematically by translating the cutting process into a state diagram. Subdivision of mesh elements is driven by the state transitions. Node redistribution, local re-meshing and deformation are applied to refine the subdivided mesh.
