Abstract :
Patients with fractures and implants may benefit from a new user-friendly stress and strain simulation technology called ´Scan and Solve´. Researchers are developing ways to model, predict, and prevent future lesions, fractures, and stresses that David may face. David, along with many other medical implant and bone injury patients, may benefit from a stress and strain simulation technology called ´Scan and Solve´. With the new system, any object can be scanned and analysed, bypassing tedious and error-prone methods used by standard engineering analysis. Any volume can be scanned so that the surface is split into smaller geometries from which functions are approximated to model the stress field on that object. It is a user-friendly, fast technology developed by researchers over nine years to simulate the stresses and other physical properties of any given artefact.
