This Best Practices document describes major aspects of stent modeling and simulation, familiarizing the reader with its core concepts and best practices. To take full advantage of this Best Practice, the user must be familiar with the SIMULIA product Abaqus or structural apps on 3DEXPERIENCE platform, provided by Dassault Systèmes.
Stents are medical implants for human bodies and represent one of the most notable areas where bio-medical industry has advanced rapidly. This advancement has been possible in part due to the foray of simulation in this area which has largely complemented or replaced the traditional method of developing stents by prototyping and physical evaluation. Simulation through Finite Element Modeling (FEM) in a computer-simulated virtual environment has allowed the exploration of various stent designs and their failure modes in a very cost-effective and timely manner. Simulation has thus become an integral part in the design cycle of stents, helping the bio-medical industry to attain quicker turn-around times and a faster time to market.
