Algebraic multigrid method for cloth simulation

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for simulation of deformation of a cloth member, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• code for receiving at one or more computer systems, information identifying a computer-generated object, wherein the computer-generated object comprises a cloth member;
• code for receiving information identifying a discretization of the computer-generated object, wherein the discretization comprises a plurality of nodes;
• code for applying constraints to the discretization, wherein the constrained discretization has the same structure as the unconstrained discretization proximate to the applied constraints;
• code for receiving information identifying a set of material properties for the computer-generated object;
• and
• code for solving for nodes of the discretization via algebraic multigrid, wherein solving for nodes of the discretization comprises solving for nodes of the constrained discretization.
