Interesting new tool, the Lifespans Bone Simulator

Introduction to the Lifespans Bone Simulator

TechnologyBased on a proprietary "particle-based" model of bone tissue, the Lifespans Bone Simulator is the world’s first practical system for running fast and accurate simulations of high-strain implant migration and cut-out. Developed from cutting-edge research by the Lifespans team published in the Journal or Orthopaedic Research, the LBS picks up where mesh-based methods like FEA end. For the first time, engineers can virtually test implants in realistic bone structure all the way to cut-out and create compelling visualizations suitable for bot...
