Abstract: This work is about finding optimal degrees of freedom for FEM simulation of nonlinear deformable objects with frictional contacts. This is done by moving the vertices in the undeformed (reference) mesh to improve the match to the true analytical solution of the underlying PDE. I.e., get closer to the true solution with a fewer number of mesh vertices by optimally repositioning those vertices in the undeformed mesh. More broadly, the work tries to improve how partial differential equations are solved by adapting the FEM solution space.
