Simpleware Case Study: Simulating Pore-Scale Chemical Transport

Submitted by Simpleware on

Image-based modelling can be used to analyse mass transfer phenomena through porous media, with particular applications to reservoir rock pore-throats networks. The aim of these analyses is to improve our understanding and characterisation of the way fluids move through variable pore-scales.

Using real geometries from micro-CT, this project involved generating a 3D model in Simpleware software for visualisation and processing prior to meshing and export to COMSOL Multiphysics® for studying chemical transport mechanisms.

Simpleware case study: 3D FE Model of the Diabetic Neuropathic Foot

Submitted by Simpleware on

Diabetic foot represents a complication of diabetes that can lead to foot ulcers and other serious conditions. 3D Finite Element (FE) analysis enables dynamic characterisation of different loads within the foot.

This study developed a subject-specific 3D FE model of a diabetic neuropathic and a healthy subject’s foot from MRI data. Experimental analysis of the biomechanics of the foot was combined with FE simulations of foot models generated in Simpleware software.

Tasks & Responsibilities

Simpleware Australia Workshops

Submitted by Simpleware on

Simpleware will be running a series of free workshops in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne from March 23rd to April 1st 2015

These will include an overview of using the software to visualise, analyse, process and generate models from 3D image data (MRI, CT, micro-CT...). Learn how to obtain very high quality models from image data, how to integrate CAD objects with images, how to calculate effective material properties using Finite Element-based homogenisation techniques, and about exporting robust FE and CFD meshes for simulation in other software.

Case Study: Mechanics of Bacterial Biofilms on Surgical Sutures

Submitted by Simpleware on

Biofilms represent bacterial communities that attach to implanted medical devices such as sutures and catheters. When detached from implants within the body, biofilms can cause chronic infections. This study used Simpleware software to generate image-based microscopic Finite Element (FE) models from confocal laser scanning microscopy scans of real biofilm colonies attached to a surgical suture fragment.

Simpleware Version 7.0 now available

Submitted by Simpleware on

We're delighted to announce the Version 7.0 release of our 3D image processing, analysis and model generation software. The release comes with a wide range of new features including:

New Animations - generate animations from within the ScanIP interface - explore your data and create videos to communicate work to colleagues, with options for 'fly-throughs' available.

Simpleware Case Study: Evaluating Wheelchair Cushion Designs

Submitted by Simpleware on

In this study, researchers at Tel Aviv University and ROHO Inc. analysed how wheelchair cushion design affects the risk of pressure ulcers. MRI data of a male subject was used to generate a robust 3D model in Simpleware software for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of stresses in FEBio. Comparisons were made between different types of wheelchair cushions to determine how they respond to pressures. The study was successful at evaluating the effectiveness of FE modelling for studying interactions between wheelchair users and equipment.
