SiminSitu EU Project with 4RealSim

SIMULIA is delighted to work with engineering leaders and academics as they leverage simulation capabilities to help shape the future of their industry. We had the opportunity to interview 4RealSim, a company specializing in high-end numerical analysis services. During the interview, we discussed how 4RealSim uses Abaqus in the SimInSitu EU project (http://www.siminsitu.eu/). SimInSitu aims to develop sophisticated in-silico methods to predict the short- and long-term behavior of in-situ tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHV) by combining advanced tissue remodeling algorithms with a personalized virtual heart modeling approach.  The method will be specifically developed to predict the complex transformation process of biodegradable heart valves from the initially synthetic scaffold into a fully remodeled and functional valve.
