Health sector continues to break new ground!

Abaqus FEA software, Dassault Systèmes continues to break new ground with the health sector ediyor.Hedef knee bones, soft tissue and meniscus around the modeling of all biological systems ...

Britain's largest medical technology company Smith & Nephew, Dassault Systèmes' SIMULIA Abaqus Unified FEA software to allow for realistic simulations, using both biological and man-made materials, we are simulating the performance. Such simulation analysis, because it allows engineers to develop a more perfect designs shall be only as a guide for surgeons.

Of product lifecycle management (PLM) and 3-dimensional (3D) modeling, a world leader in solutions, the Dassault Systèmes (DS) 's SIMULIA Abaqus Unified FEA software to allow for a realistic simulation of Britain's largest medical technology company Smith & Nephew engineers for product design and development by using the. Abaqus contact with the hip bone in vivo (living organism) the next target of the engineers succeeded in modeling the knee bones, soft tissue, the meniscus around the modeling of all biological systems.

Prosthetic joints, performance and durability is measured against time

The largest joint in the body as a place of your knees, every step we take is five times your weight. Considering the anatomical structure of these pressures, over time, wear uğrayabiliyor knees. With the pain and restricting movement of aging can cause calcification. 580 thousand times per year in the United States total knee prosthesis placement is one of the most performed treatments.

Joint kinematics joint prostheses that simulate and better meet the needs of patients, biological and man-made materials used in the Abaqus analysis in order to resolve the difficulties experienced in providing the meeting, allows researchers to measure the durability of prosthetic joints, performance, and against time. Analysis of these simulations, although you can make it possible to develop a more excellent designs as a guide for surgeons to carry.

Smith & Nephew, aiming at a better understanding of knee kinematics, the index problem in developing the ability to move people living in the city of Leuven in Belgium to carry out research and innovation in the European Research Center has established the knee.

"Very easy to make design changes"

Abaqus to predict the duration of studies and FEA'nin

all of the different parameters in the design of knee prostheses, as well as the performance is very important due to the effects of saying that the Smith & Nephew, Europe kolaylaştırmasından Knee Kinematics Main Project Manager Bernardo Innocenti Research Centre Digital adds: "Knee Center 'When I first started I kullanmamıştım Abaqus software before, but it is very easy Abaqus'le. Modeling is very simple, we want to add all the complex issues and adapts. For this reason, very easy to make design changes. When you perform a knee replacement, bone, cartilage, connective tissue, biological materials such as titanium, stainless steel and non-biological materials such as polyethylene are trying to copy. Abaqus simulation software to perform these substances were all there that I need. "

Objective

knee bones, soft tissues and the surrounding meniscus modeling of biological systems

Innocenti, which will take place in the future he saw great potential for research Dassault Systèmes' Abaqus software said: "Our ultimate goal is the knee bone, soft tissue, the meniscus around the modeling of all biological systems. Transport is so fast and accurate FEA results of his work is an important part of this development. Abaqus, further studies for patients with total knee arthroplasty yaklaşmamızda helps us. "

Total Knee Prosthesis, damaged and diseased knee joint surfaces of the metal and plastic components, is changing. Knee replacements last 15-20 years, and patients will need more than 95% of patients in most series allows it to move from zero to 120 degrees.
