FROTRAN subrountines for ABAQUS in bone remodeling simulation

Submitted by Lilia Wang on

I'm new in the computer simulation of adaptive bone remodeling (Bone will adapt to the loads it is placed under). And I know many research cases of numerical model were implemented as FROTRAN subrountines for the software package ABAQUS: the bone material properties will be updated by the subroutine.

I know FROTRAN is excellent at handling large data sets for scientific coumputing and requires less resources, but I haven't learned the FROTRAN.I wonder what else irreplacable advantages of FROTRAN in the bone remodeling?

And whether I could implement my algotiyhms by the Matlab code? It will be more easier and I can get step result directly.

Thanks.

Hello,

there are a number of publications that leak their codes in full or at least describe the algorithm in some detail.

Also, search the internet; combining appropriate search terms.

Good luck

Frank
