Abstract We propose a new approach for the simulation of wood as anisotropic material that takes its inherent fiber structure into account. Our approach is based on the Position-based Dynamics framework. We use the Shape Matching approach as the basis for modeling the isotropic attribute of wood. For simulating anisotropic behavior we employ a fiber model based on the Cosserat rod theory. Our approach supports dynamic fracturing and captures typical breaking patterns of wood.
