Application Development


Mimic has developed in-house software tools with an extensive set of features to provide its customers with fast computer modeling and advanced haptic interaction. Companies that wish to incorporate haptics into their applications can accomplish this most efficiently by consulting with Mimic’s expert developers and by licensing Mimic software libraries. We recognize that every project will have its own specific requirements – we work in close cooperation with our customers to understand their challenges and provide solutions.

Geometry Generation and Design

Mimic has the expertise and software tools to quickly help you generate complex geometries that allow for high fidelity haptic interaction:

  • Models can be generated from medical images in the form of polygon surfaces, implicit solids, and finite element meshes
  • Geometry can also be built from primitives or free-form representations to create implicit models, polygon surfaces or wire frames
  • Models can be populated with realistic properties and boundary conditions
  • Color and texture maps can be applied to models for enhanced visual realism
  • Mimic has in-house tools for testing visualization and interaction of models before they are exported as C++ code for use in software applications

Interactive Modeling Capabilities

The world is not rigid but deformable. Mimic can help you implement the most realistic real-time deformation possible in your own software applications. Mimic’s technology enables:

  • Real-time finite element modeling for deformation of complex geometries.
    Utilization of various element types that encompass the continuum mechanics based material properties of the structure being modeled.
  • Models with tens of thousand of nodes to be solved at visual update rates greater than 30 Hz and haptic update rates greater than 300 Hz.
  • Multiple points of applied contact anywhere on the surface of the model.
  • Forces to be applied or removed in real-time anywhere on the surface of the model.
  • Real-time visualization and analysis of stress/strain results.
