Realistic Medical Device Implant Simulation
By
Metin Ozen, David Wagner, Can Ozcan - OZEN ENGINEERING, INC.
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) has captured many physics through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). However, when a human body is involved, the equations get very complicated and it becomes almost impossible to use just FEA and/or CFD. This is when engineers and scientists need muscular-skeletal modeling coupled with FEA. A demonstration of the "AnyBody" interface and modeling capabilities will be presented. "AnyBody" is a multibody dynamics system in which the user can build and analyze models of mechanism. Currently available models, including a whole body model with over 450 muscles, will be reviewed. A simplified upper extremity model will be developed and analyzed as a method for further demonstrating the types of analyses that can be performed with the AnyBody modeling software. In addition, a demonstration of the Any2Ans and Ansys will be presented where data from AnyBody will be brought into Ansys to be able to realistically simulate performance of medical device implants. A spinal implant example will be shown.
About the speakers:
Metin Ozen
BS, MS, from Lehigh University and PhD from University of Connecticut. Dr. Ozen is a member of ASME and IEEE. He is an ASME Fellow. His company is a distributor for ANSYS and AnyBody software and the company also provides consulting services in simulation.
David Wagner
BS from University of California, Berkeley and MS, PhD from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Dr. Wagner is a member of SAE. He is currently a project manager at OZEN ENGINEERING, INC.
Can Ozcan
BS and MS from Bosphorus University in Mechanical Engineering. Mr. Ozcan is a project manager at OZEN ENGINEERING, INC.
MEETING LOCATION
The usual meeting location is the Clark Center Auditorium. (Clark Center is just a few yards from the old meeting location in the South-West end of the Stanford Hospital and Medical School.) Clark Center is marked "C" in the lower-left of this Stanford Hospital map, near the Medical School, marked "M." Click here for
directions to the Clark Center. Also, see this
Hospital vicinity road map.
The new Clark Center building, home to Stanford's Bio-X program, is an open, glass building, shaped like a "U." The auditorium lies beneath the central courtyard, and is accessible from outdoors via a staircase there. (Wheelchair access is via a nearby elevator; please ask one of the volunteers upon arrival for access.)
Parking is free after 4pm right next to the Clark Center (on the west side, lots A, C, etc.) near Fairchild Auditorium. Note also there is a parking structure East of Clark that usually has open visitor spaces.
Or, if you are coming early for dinner, you could park at the Stanford
hospital parking structure off Pasteur Drive and Blake Wilbur Drive; this is closer to the Cafeteria, but there is a fee.
An optional dinner with the speaker precedes each meeting, and you are invited.Ê We gather in the Stanford Hospital cafeteria at 6:15 pm.Ê No reservation is needed.Ê
Watch this space and the IEEE Grid Calendar for upcoming meeting announcements.
