: The biomechanical properties of soft tissue derived from experimental measurements are critical for developing a reality-based model for minimally invasive surgical training and ...
In surgical simulations, the two most popular approaches to model soft tissues are Finite Element Method (FEM) and Mass-Spring System (MSS). Main advantages of FEM are accuracy and...
This paper describes a comprehensive approach to construct quality meshes for implicit solvation models of biomolecular structures starting from atomic resolution data in the Prot...
