Abstract:

Physics-based computer simulations of the heart have huge potential in the medical device industry and clinical practice. However, bringing cardiac models to the real world remains challenging, largely due to the complexity of models, the specialized expertise required to use Finite Element software, and the absence of user-friendly, readily available models. In this talk, we present PyAnsys-Heart, a free, open-source, python-based high-level interface to Ansys LS-DYNA dedicated to heart modeling. We introduce the relevant heart modeling features available in Ansys LS-DYNA and we describe how PyAnsys-Heart leverages them through automatic geometry preprocessing, boundary conditions setting, customizable complexity and results postprocessing.
