Within the paradigm shift of electrification and autonomous driving, the automotive wiring
harness has evolved to a safety-critical system, as it is responsible for the energy and …

Designing the layouts and simulating the assembly of cables are based on flexible cable
modeling technology. In this paper, we review the methods used to model deformable cable …

We present a discrete treatment of adapted framed curves, parallel transport, and holonomy,
thus establishing the language for a discrete geometric model of thin flexible rods with …

Robotic manipulation of deformable linear objects (DLOs) is important in many applications
such as the assembly of deformable wire harnesses and cables in manufacturing. Despite …

We present a continuum-based discrete model for thin threads of viscous fluid by drawing
upon the Rayleigh analogy to elastic rods, demonstrating canonical coiling, folding, and …

This paper reports the development of a manipulation system for electric wires, implemented
by means of a commercial gripper installed on an industrial manipulator and equipped with …

Computer simulations play an ever growing role for the development of automotive products.
Assembly simulation, as well as many other processes, are used systematically even before …

Many assembled products contain parts that are not rigid, and there is a large variety of such
parts, which might be as different as cables, sheet metals, plastic covers, or foams. The …

In this paper we focus on the fast simulation of hair and fur on animated characters. While it
is common in feature films to simulate hair and fur of computer generated actors, characters …

We present the derivation of a simple viscous damping model of Kelvin–Voigt type for
geometrically exact Cosserat rods from three-dimensional continuum theory. Assuming …
