Abstract: Physics based simulations have advanced significantly in the past few years due to implementation of coupled physics in software and high speed low-cost computers. This talk will cover applications in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Musculoskeletal modeling (MSM). Examples will be shown about how FEA and CFD can be coupled to model stents as well as how FEA and MSM can be coupled to predict the performance of implants. Using current software technology, implants can be optimized based on patient specific skeletal data as well as patient specific activities of daily living. Other unexplored opportunities on how software can be used in the biomedical field applications will also be discussed.
