A software tool has been developed to simulate the entanglement of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in fishing and aquaculture gear. Entanglements are well documented and are increasing in frequency due to greater fishing effort and with the use of synthetic materials in marine applications. However relatively little is known about how entanglements occur and how they might be prevented...
The real-time simulation of rope, and knot tying in particular, raises difficult issues in contact detection and management. Some practical knots can only be achieved by complicated crossings of the rope, yielding multiple simultaneous contacts, especially when the rope is pulled tight. This paper describes a graphical simulator that allows a user to grasp and smoothly manipulate a virtual rope and...
