Hello,


We are a group of french students in engineering school ESME SUDRIA LYON. We have to modelize a coronary artery. The main goal is to obtain a 3D Viziualisation, datas about blood flows etc...

We follow this tutorial to help us : http://simvascular.github.io/clinicalCase3.html
But we are blocked about the step for creating a path.
We don't understand why on the right window it seems to be shaded and we cannot move forward. (screenshots)




Thank you for your answer (and sorry for my english)

Hi Greg,

Glad that you are using SimVascular for your project. To work with SimVascular, you need to create a project first. Please take some time to read through the Quick Guide:
http://simvascular.github.io/docsQuickGuide.html

For more details, you can also check out those guides:

Hi,

First of all, thank you Hongzhi Lan for your answer. After following step by step tutorials on Coronary Simulation, we are blocked at the end about flows...
The tutorial explication is:

Go to the Create Files and Run Simulation
Choose Mesh: normal1_mesh
click the Create Data Files for Simulation button.

But when I click on Create Data Files for Simulation a window opens and says : Please make sure presolver exists!

We don't find the error...
If you can help us again.

Hi Greg,

To run simulation you need svSolver, which is not included in SimVascular installer. You need to install svSolver separately. Check out the installation guide (Paragraph 5 in Linux section):
http://simvascular.github.io/docsInstallation.html

Download svSolver at
https://simtk.org/frs/index.php?group_id=188
Find the svSolver section.

After svSolver installed, you should be able to run simulation.
