FEA Simulation of Medical Devices using Advanced Nonlinear Analysis

Predictive Engineering has been involved with the analysis of medical devices since 1995 with its first work on an endoscopic surgical stapler to pedicle screws to all-plastic snap-fit device to our current work with micro-cables and filar wrapped tubes for robotic surgery applications. In all cases, these projects were benchmarked against experimental results and shown to be in tight correlation. Complex analysis demands were only part of the challenge for these projects since the medical industry also
