Model from shape equation
Model from shape equation
(OP)
Hello everybody,
I am a bioengineer and I am interested in studying the problem of deformation of body tissues. I have never used ABAQUS so far but I have read about it and it seems exactly what I need to address certain problems that I am having. However, I wanted to make sure of a couple of things before acquiring it.
I have the mathematical expressions of the shapes of the objects I want to study. Say, I want to study the deformations of a solid object whose external surface is defined by the equation z=5-x^2-y^2 (0<z<5) (just an example) or a thin shell with the same shape, subjected to external forces. Would this be easily implemented and meshed in ABAQUS? I have been looking for it but all the help sections talk about simple shapes like cubes and cylinders.
Would the inclusion of an incompressible fluid inside the shell be implemented in the standar version of ABAQUS, or do I need specific fluid dynamics packages?
Thank you for your help.

RE: Model from shape equation
I have an equation that determines the external shape of the cell in absence of forces, just the same way as x^2+y^2+z^2=1 is the shape of a sphere of unit radius, except much more complex. I'm sure there's some way of mapping it straight into a 3d model but I don't know exactly how.
Thanks for your help.
