EndoBeams.jl: A Julia finite element package for beam-to-surface contact problems in cardiovascular mechanics

Please take a look at the paper of our PhD student Beatrice Bisighini in Advances in Engineering Software: "EndoBeams.jl: A Julia finite element package for beam-to-surface contact problems in cardiovascular mechanics". We propose an efficient framework for modelling beam-to-surface contact, specifically designed to model endovascular devices.
