The SIMULIA Living Heart Human Model provides a unique testing environment where a stent can be deployed virtually in coronary arteries and deformed mechanically during the cardiac cycle. Once the mechanical deformation results are obtained, the long-term durability of the stent can be assessed. The virtual nature of the test provides a physiologically accurate methodology to test new and existing devices without exposing patients to unnecessary risk.
Admedes, a leading stent manufacturer, was looking for ways to extend the lifespan of their implantable Nitinol stents, heart valve frames, and similar cardiovascular repair components. Simulating the implantation of devices within Dassault Systèmes’ Living Heart model, engineers used Abaqus FEA to identify stress areas and potential failure points of Nitinol structures, then optimized the topology of the components using Tosca Structure.
Understanding the blood flow dynamics (hemodynamics) and the fluid forces exerted on the blood by implantable medical devices and predicting blood damage is an intricate part of interventional medical device design. This white paper aims to assess the performance of Abaqus/CFD in modeling hemodynamics using the FDA Benchmark Nozzle model.
Broad compatibility increases lab consistency.
Understand the important factors you need to consider when selecting lateral flow device (LFD) components to design an LFD to fit your needs.
Current market conditions such as regulations and mergers or acquisitions make improving compliance and manufacturing efficiency while driving to grow revenue and margins difficult.
Larger pharma organization have evolved into hierarchical silos due to a combination of legacy organizational structures, mergers and acquisitions, and lack of a holisitic approach to innovation.
Dassault Systemes has brought together a multidisciplinary team of experts to collaborate on breakthrough technology with the Living Heart Project for improved products and treatments for cardiovascular disease. The project’s first output is the Living Heart Model (LHM), a realistic 3D computational model of the human heart. This case study discusses the Living Heart Project and the plans for further developments and clinical applications rising from its efforts.
In response to a patient’s unique problems with a failure of a previous stent implant, researchers at University College London Institute of Cardiovascular Science used Dassault Systemes’ SIMULIA Abaqus, in combination with patient image data, to create personalized, virtual models of the patient’s anatomy. The implantation of different sized stents was simulated to compare their effects on blood flow, pressure, and aneurysm coverage.
