Re: CGS and MGS units

Hi Taehak, Since we create a model based on the patient's images, so the units should be same. In another word, If you create a model based on an image in mm unit, the model is in mm. If you create a model based on an image in cm unit, the model is in cm. After the model is created, we create a mesh...

Re: Blending_&_Conversion_to_Paraview_Error_&_Save_Error

Hi Taehak, Can you share the project with me? I'll take a look. Also, for simulation, only jobs are saved to .sjb files when you click "Save Projects", since simulation results files are created during simulation and there is no need to save those already existing files. Thanks, Hongzhi SimVascular ...

Re: Volume Model Dimension (mm^3)?

Hi Frederick, SimVascular doesn't have this ability currently. For you data analysis, a better way is to write Python scripts to call some vtk functions, which will give you the maximum flexibility. For volume calculation, you may try "vtkMassProperties" and search the internet about how to use it. ...

Re: Running the simulation causes SimVascular to crash

Hi Ghazal, I checked your projects. The face names of the model have white spaces, which causes SimVascular can't produce complete data files for simulation. Make sure not to use white spaces in any names in a simvascular project. Click " Create Data Files for Simulation" before running simulation. ...

Re: Vessel Curvature Quantification

Hi Gurneet,

Glad to hear your feed back. Curvature quantification is a good feature to add in SimVascular. We'll implement in future versions. What do you mean the distance between two paths?

Thanks,
Hongzhi

Re: Number of coupled surfaces > MAXSURF

It's very straightforward. Search "MAXSURF" in the source code. Change the number in common_c.h and global.h

Re: implantation virtual stent

Hi, For an artery in STL, you may get more faces than you want after "Extract Faces". In this case, you can select some faces and combine them to one face using "Combine". For a stent, which truly has a lot of faces, SimVascular does extract many faces. Could you tell me why you want to extract face...

Re: Flow File

Hi Taehak, Before trying simulation, you can check out our simulation guide http://simvascular.github.io/docsFlowSolver.html It provides more details to help you set up boundary conditions and run simulations. For your question: you only need to specify flow rate for one period. For a steady flow, s...

Re: Number of coupled surfaces > MAXSURF

Hi Vitaly, I discussed with our development team. Most cases don't use a large number vessels, and we are concerned that the increase of the MAXSURF would lead to more memory usage and lower performance unnecessarily. If you want to simulate your case, you can compile svSolver on clusters and run si...

Re: Solid domain in fluid-structure interaction

Hi Shubham, Currently, SimVascular only supports FSI with small deformation using the coupled momentum method (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004578250500513X). The vessel wall is modeled as a linear elastic membrane, so only fluid domain has 3D mesh. For your case, a meshe need t...
