Division of Responsibilities

Austin - Implemented the initial background grid and was responsible for heavy project framework and the main infrastructure. Also involved in debugging and optimizations for CPU overall speed for each iteration.

Joe - Involved in the implementation of snow elastic and plastic calculations, grid collision checks, and final base renders.

Hannah - Implemented the particle to grid and grid to particle math-based transfers and also involved in the math understanding for cauchy-stress calculations for the MPM implementation and other math aspects of the project.

Youssef - Implemented Affine Particle In Cell (APIC) method to allow for angular momentum conservation in the MPM Simulation visuals. Also added particle exporting into .geo format and rendering using Houdini.
