In this work, possibility of simulating biological organs in realtime usingthe Boundary Element Method (BEM) is investigated. Biological organs areassumed to follow linear elastostatic material behavior, and constant boundaryelement is the element type used. First, a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) isused to speed up the BEM computations to achieve the realtime performance.Next, instead of the GPU, a computer cluster is used. Results indicate that BEMis fast enough to provide for realtime graphics if biological organs areassumed to follow linear elastostatic material behavior. Although the presentwork does not conduct any simulation using nonlinear material models, resultsfrom using the linear elastostatic material model imply that it would bedifficult to obtain realtime performance if highly nonlinear material modelsthat properly characterize biological organs are used. Although the use of BEMfor the simulation of biological organs is not new, the results presented inthe present study are not found elsewhere in the literature.
