Hello, i would like to ask you, if the Boundary Element Method, can be applied in a virtual drilling/sculpting environment with a haptic interface. The haptic demands almost 1000Hz refresh rate for the feeling to be acceptable. I am not talking about metal drilling, but for smaller sizes of pieces and working tools, as in tooth drilling with dental burrs. Is there a possibility that with either FEM/BEM or some other method, the 1000Hz refresh rate will be acquired ? I was told that there is a new[?] Galerkin method in which meshing is not required. Is that correct ?
Thanx
