ABSTRACT = {In the simulation of acupuncture manipulation, it is necessary to accurately capture the information of acupuncture points and particles around them. Therefore, a soft tissue modeling method that can accurately track model particles is needed. In this paper, a soft tissue acupuncture model based on the mass-spring force net is designed. MSM is used as the auxiliary model and the SHF model is combined. SHF is used to establish a three-layer soft tissue model of skin, fat, and muscle, and a layer of the MSM based force network is covered on the surface of soft tissue to realize the complementary advantages and disadvantages of spherical harmonic function and MSM. In addition, a springback algorithm is designed to simulate the springback phenomenon of soft tissue skin during acupuncture. The evaluation results show that the soft tissue acupuncture modeling method based on mass-spring force net can effectively simulate the springback phenomenon of soft tissue surface during acupuncture surgery, and has good comprehensive performance in the application of virtual acupuncture surgery simulation.},
