Abstract
The cutting operation of 3D surface meshes plays an important role in surgery simulators One of the important requirements for surgical simulator is the issue of accuracy representation of the surgical tool motion. In this paper we propose a cutting algorithm taking advantage of the longest-edge refinement method of triangle mesh models. The proposed algorithm gives the faithful representation of the interaction path.
