Simulation series - Image-based computational simulation to design patient-specific AM implants

Ali Kiapour and Kerim Genc, Synopsys

The presentation will focus on using a more novel approach in performing computational simulation on complex patient-specific implants used in orthopedic surgery. The presentation discusses the process workflow including using image-based technique for converting patient’s data into volumetric mesh used for FEA analysis.

Key takeaways:

• How to use an image based technique for computational simulation
• How to develop a uniform and consistent mesh for detailed and complicated models
• FEA analysis of the implants
