Hi,
I just want to know do simvascular consider gravity/or not while simulating.

Hello,

I'll assume you are referring to the SImVascular svSolver. Gravity is not explicitly included but you can add it as a body force.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi, David

thank you for your work. I wish to do simulation with gravity. The guide documentation said a user-defined body force can be specified through the e3source.f Fortran subroutine. However, I didn't find any access to edit e3source.f. Could you please give me any indication? thanks a lot!

Hello,

It seems that the e3source.f file is the code that you would write to implement a custom body force. However, there is no documentation describing how to use this.

I recommend using the svFSIplus solver (see https://simvascular.github.io/documenta ... iplus.html). It has a Add_BF parameter that allows prescribing a nodally-dependent body force that varies in space and optionally in time (see https://github.com/SimVascular/svFSIplu ... d_solution).

Cheers,
Dave
