Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for precomputing reduced deformable models in physics-based animation are time-consuming, especially when object geometry or material properties change frequently, as they require re-computation of deformation modes, slowing down workflow.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional precomputation methods are used to construct deformation modes, then simulation quality is maintained, but precomputation time becomes excessively long
Solution Approach 1:
The precomputation process is divided into multiple independent stages: (1) constructing initial deformation modes using Krylov subspace iteration, (2) condensing modes into a mode matrix, (3) sampling cubature points, (4) calculating cubature weights, and (5) iteratively generating training data. Each stage can be processed separately and optimized independently, reducing overall computation time while maintaining simulation quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The method performs preliminary construction of deformation modes using Krylov subspace iteration before the actual simulation. By precomputing the mode matrix and cubature weights in advance, the expensive operations are completed beforehand, allowing the online simulation to run efficiently without repeating these computationally intensive steps.
2Manufacturing precision
If precomputation is performed for each geometric or material update, then simulation accuracy is maintained, but workflow efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The method enables dynamic updates of geometric and material properties without requiring complete re-computation of the reduced model. The Krylov subspace iteration can efficiently adapt existing modes to new geometries or materials, allowing incremental updates rather than full re-computation, thus maintaining accuracy while improving workflow efficiency.
3Speed
If a small number of deformation modes are used, then simulation speed increases, but deformation representation quality decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The method replaces traditional mechanical model reduction approaches with Krylov subspace iteration, a numerical linear algebra technique. This substitution allows for more efficient construction of deformation modes that capture essential deformation characteristics with fewer modes, achieving both speed and accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The method changes the parameters used to construct deformation modes by using Krylov subspace iteration with specific initial vectors and iteration counts. By adjusting the number of Krylov iterations and selecting appropriate initial vectors, the method optimizes the balance between the number of modes required and the computational effort, achieving good deformation representation with fewer modes.

AI summary
Technologies are disclosed for precomputation of reduced deformable models. In such precomputation, a Krylov subspace iteration may be used to construct a series of inertia modes for an input mesh. The inertia modes may be condensed into a mode matrix. A set of cubature points may be sampled from the input mesh, and cubature weights of the set of cubature points may be calculated for each of the inertia modes in the mode matrix. A training dataset may be generated by iteratively adding training samples to the training dataset until a training error metric converges, wherein each training sample is generated from an inertia mode in the mode matrix and corresponding cubature weights. The reduced deformable model may be generated, including inertia modes in the training dataset and corresponding cubature weights.
