Simulating Extraocular Muscle Dynamics. A Comparison between Dynamic Implicit and Explicit Finite Element Methods

The finite element method has been widely used to investigate the mechanical behavior of biological tissues. When analyzing these particular materials subjected dynamic requests, time integration algorithms should be considered incorporate inertial effects. These can classified as implicit or explicit. Although both have in different scenarios, a comparative study outcomes methods is important determine performance model simulate active contraction skeletal muscle tissue. In this work, and explicit solutions are presented for movement eye ball induced by extraocular muscles. Aspects such stability, computational influence mass-scaling formulation were assessed using ABAQUS software. Both strategies produced similar results regarding range ball, total deformation kinetic energy. Using formulation, an amount reduction achieved. reduce simulation time, drastically altered.
