In this study, a method was developed to analyze the leaflet of a prosthetic heart valve. Basically, the method was an interactive procedure between ANSYS program results and a written FORTRAN program from which the "coaptation nodes" were determined to be constrained. Before pressure is applied, an
Modeling soft tissue using the finite element method is one of the most challenging areas in the field of biomechanical engineering. To date, many models have been developed to describe heart valve leaflet tissue mechanics, which are accurate to some extent. Nevertheless, there is no comprehensive m
