Mass-spring-damper model

The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers. This model is well-suited for modelling object with complex material properties such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity. Packages such as MATLAB may be used to run simulations of such models.[1] Objects may be described as volumetric meshes for simulation in this manner. As well as engineering simulation, these systems have applications in computer graphics and computer animation[2]
