== Modeling priorities ==

 * PRIORITY 1
  * 8 specimen-specific model (lumped) - indentation simulation (gravity compensation, anterior for calibration / posterior for benchmarking)
  * Phases for each specimen-specific modeling & simulation
   * TEMPLATE MODELING: assembled model at 3 different mesh densities (coarse, medium, fine)
   * MESH CONVERGENCE: simulation with assumed material property and anterior region indentation displacement to identify minimum required mesh density for prediction of indentation force
   * CALIBRATION: inverse analysis utilizing iterative simulations with converged mesh to find material property that best represents experimental forces of anterior region indentation. Each simulation will require gravity compensation.
   * BENCHMARKING: simulation with calibrated material properties and posterior region indentation displacement to compare model predicted and experimental posterior region indentation forces. Simulation will require gravity compensation.
