Abstract
The focus of this paper is the newly developed Enhanced ChainMail Algorithm that will be used for modeling the vitreous humor in the eye during surgical simulation. The simulator incorporates both visualization and biomechanical modeling of a vitrectomy, an intra-ocular surgical procedure for removing the vitreous humor. The Enhanced ChainMail algorithm extends the capabilities of an existing algorithm for modeling deformable tissue, 3D ChainMail, by enabling the modeling of inhomogeneous material. In this paper, we present the enhanced algorithm and demonstrate its capabilities in 2D.
