Finite element simulations are nowadays an integral part of the development and construction of technical products. The enlargement of FEM on questions of the biomechanical problems is partially succeeded, but fails often due to the very complex organic structure of the biological material. Even on the subject of skeletal muscle modelling endures a large demand in the consequent development of efficient finite element tools. Such a finite element tool should cover the whole field of mechanical-physiological behaviour of skeletal muscles. The advantage in comparison to so-called stand-alone programs lies in the optimal coordination between the single processes, which leads finally to a simulation of the whole physiological contraction process.
