Biomechanics Forum

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum to get some help for my work. 

I am looking at CT data (DICOM files) to make FEM models. To generate
3D surface/volumes for FEM, I was looking for softwares. They all are
pretty expensive (4-10K USD). I have decide togo with Able Software's 3D-DOCTOR. I am lookign for some reviews or user experience or comments for this tool.

Thanks

Hello,

Now I want to simulate the change Young's modulus due to the mechanical stimulus in soft tissue. In our soft tissue(scaffold) we have seeded living cells and these cells produce the collagen fiber type-II which could be interpreted as change of Young's modulus. The Young's modulus of neighbour elements of the cells have to change depending on the Young's modulus of former elements like domino.

I have two constitutitve equations programmed in UMAT i. e. for scaffold and for fibers and they run good.

Hello All Dear:

I have a model of the knee with its soft tissue between 2 femur and Tibia Bones, then I want to load 2 boundrical condition

s on it , 1- The 6-DOF's of Tibia and Femur Bones Center of Mass, (x,y,z,R1,R2,R3) time dependent. and 2-The

concentrated  load that is exerted on the cross section of the Tibia Shank (Lower Bone) Time Dependent. Then Dear, Can

anyone Help Me,Please how to Put these 2 kinds of Boundrical Conditions on the Model.

Kind Regards.

I am looking for a Finite Element software for Teeth and Implant modeling and analysis. Is there a special FE software for this, or which of these softwares can solve the proplem.

Abaqus, ProEng, Ansys, catia, solidworks, or anyother software..

please, if you know about solving this problem, share your thoughts with me.. or send me a link to this kind of analysis...

thanks to all in advance...

Hi,

I have been watching some small seeds germinate on different media.

The root pops out first, from a split in one end of the seed, navigates down to the substrate, then inserts itself into the substrate if it can (e.g. when placed on sand or soil). Otherwise it grows along the surface horizontally (on filter paper). The vertical growing plant also puts out a horizontal set of very fine root hairs, at the ground surface, and then stands up, lifting the seed into the air with the first leaves still stuck inside the seed.
