I see. Thank you

The problem of parabolic velocity profile imposed on outlet truly exists. Can this problem be partly resolved by adding cylinders to the end of visceral arteries?

Thank you, Weiguang! It is difficult to estimate the capacitance and the ratio of proximal and distal resistance of three-elements Windkessel model. Thus, I can hardly prescribe RCR to approximate the flow waveform obtained from PCMRI. Can you tell me something in details why it is not recommend to ...

Justin mentioned the outlet could be set velocity=0 in prescribed velocities surface so as to occlude the outlet.Does it mean that prescribed velocities can not only be used to prescribe the inlet BC but also the outlet BC?

I can measure the volumetric flow rate of outlets with PCMRI. Can the outlet boundary condition be prescribed with flow file instead of RCR in next version of SimVascular?

Thank you, Hongzhi! SimVascular is successfully installed in Ubuntu 16.04 as I follow your instruction.

Thank you, Gabriel! After I run "sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev" again, SimVascular is successfully installed in Ubuntu 16.04. That may be due to changing host server from United States to China in Ubuntu.

I fail to launch SimVascular 3.0(2017-8-14) after installation in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Ubuntu 16.04 is run with VMware workstation 14 player in windows 10. The terminal reads: Application launch failed...stopping the plugin framework timed out. I have read tutorial and installed lib and MPI.

Thank you! The Volview works.

Thank you, Justin! The highest velocity appears at renal artery stenosis. The mesh edge size of coarse mesh is 1.33 times of the fine mesh at renal stenosis. Thus, I will try to run simulation by reducing the timestep size of fine mesh to a half of the coarse mesh.
