At times Abaqus solver needs a very tiny clearance (gap) between two contacting surfaces. This doesn't mean anything in real life but helps the solver to start computation using the contact pair type of interaction (assuming you are using CP). You mentioned that you can't space them further...
Hi,
This is a straightforward application. If you know the design specification, you easily source tubes from companies like Nordon Medical or likewise: https://www.nordsonmedical.com/Components-and-Technologies/Medical-Tubing/
From my experience, I have seen medical devices collaborating with...
MRI's are a great data source. Creating 3D surface models from a stacked MRI image set is easily achieved by many commercially available software. We have had immense success is Synopsys's SImpleware. This might be directly relevant to you...
That's a great question. Based on years of experience in the corporate world (healthcare engineering), I can tell you that I have met some really smart MD+PhD's. However, it depends on what your goals are. The MD+PhD's I have met were very knowledgeable (and interested) in engineering with a...
