Notes
1. Project description
- Ahmet gave an overview and described vision of the project.
- Open source development project.
- Community will be involved regularly in the development.
- Wiki organization was described.
2. Expectations from University of Utah team
- Utah group will be involved in accomplishing specific aim 1 of the grant which is 'To provide an open, freely available, and collaborative development, testing, simulation and dissemination platform for in silico exploration of the biomechanics of healthy and diseased knees.'
- Simtk's collaborative development environment will be used.
- Request quotas in XSEDE (High performance computing system) and provide gateway for people to run simulations through web access.
- Stanford team will be requested to develop the gateway.
- FEBio will be used to run all the simulations.
- Authentication of the gateway to XSEDE will be done through Simtk.
- Jeff suggested that along with the software platform development and overall grant progress we should focus on publications as well. (Identify suitable journals)
- Open knee, generation 1 work will be published as a research article with test cases or as a perspective article.
- Scott Sibole will be taking a lead on the manuscript.
- Joint level simulation related features will need to be improved/ added in FEBio.
- Few features can be focused on immediately ( e.g ligament in situ strain implementation, joint coordinate system improvement). These features development can be potentially written as articles.
- Have a plan to implement the requested features based on priority.
3. Scheduling of monthly conference calls
- Conference calls will be every third Wednesday of the month at 3.00 PM EST.
- Next meeting will be on October 23rd at 3.00 PM.
4. Action items for following meeting
- Clinic team will discuss the specifications and decide what is needed immediately from the Utah team.
- Infrastructure/ simulation software page will be updated in the meantime by the Utah team.
