The
First User-Friendly CFD Program to Simulate Blood Flow through
an Aneurysm!
Aneurysm : A soft, pulsating, hollow tumor, containing
blood, arising from the preternatural dilation or rupture
of the coats of an artery; A localized, pathological, blood-filled
dilatation of a blood vessel caused by a disease or weakening
of the vessel's wall.
MedCFD generates blood flow simulations through the aneurysm
by automatically generating a realistic geometric model
of an aneurysm.
This user friendly CFD program helps predict the growth
of an aneurysm and its danger of rupturing.
MedCFD is engineered for vascular surgeons, physicians and
biomedical engineers.
The program interface is intuitive and very little knowledge
on the subject is required to make it a powerful and effective
tool for any user.
MedCFD allows you to determine and evaluate the effects
of flow characteristics that could not be explained with
standard test methods. It was found that the blood flow
through an aneurysm is very complex, with reattachment and
separation points. Such saddle points can easily be determined
with MedCFD.
Generally, our software for blood flow contains a three-dimensional
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of flow through
blood vessels. We include flexible blood vessel walls, fluid-structure
interaction, viscoelastic behavior of deformable walls,
etc.
The results of the computation consist of blood velocity
and pressure fields, shear stress distribution at the wall
surface, stresses, strains and stretches in the tissue,
and the other parameters if needed.
We can offer specific CAD/CFD modules to simulate of blood
flow in:
1. The ascending aorta
2. The descending aorta
3. The brachiocephalic trunk
4. The left common carotid artery
5. The right common carotid artery
6. The subclavian artery
7. The left coronary artery
8. The right coronary artery
Each of these software modules provide automation, eliminate
user-dependent mistakes, and drastically reduce time to
create the computational model, so that users need not be
familiar with the details of the pre-processing procedure
of CFD analysis. Availability of the software for transfer
data in other Windows applications is supported automatically.
You can currently download an interactive DEMO program
MedCFD >>> to simulate blood flow through an aneurysm
with rigid walls. Important phenomena can be modeled by
the MedCFD program, such as reattachments of particles and
separation points.
MedCFD automatically generates a realistic geometric model
of an aneurysm. This user-friendly CFD program to simulate
blood flow within aneurysm helps predict aneurysm growth
and the danger of rupture. Users of this program are, for
example, vascular surgeons, physician and biomedical engineers.
A full version of our software allows a complete 3D post
processing and visualization and full analysis of 3D problems.
If you would like to model some specific problems, with
specific aims, we are willing to participate in a development
project which meets your needs. We provide the methods and
software development in biomechanics of biosolids and biofluids,
and also a graphical interfaces for automatic model generation
and results display
