FEA in biomechanic with simple static structural

Job ID: 39591168

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Description:
I’m looking for an expert in finite element analysis (FEA) using ANSYS Mechanical APDL or Abaqus to simulate 3D human sacral soft tissue in a supine position, under vertical compression, without dressing or wounds. This model will follow the geometry and boundary conditions described in:


The purpose of this simulation is to:
• Visualize internal pressure and strain distribution in the skin and adipose tissue under loading.
• Replicate intact soft tissue configuration including skin, fat, and bone, based on the referenced paper.
• Evaluate strain concentrations near the sacral bony prominence under body weight pressure.

I will provide:
• Full-text of the reference paper, including geometry, loading, and material data.
• Summary of all material properties (Yeoh model for skin and fat, with constants).
• Annotated sketches for geometry guidance (3D model, single bony prominence).
• Expected loading and friction values from literature.

Simulation Requirements:
• 3D model of sacral region with layers:
  – Skin: 1.3 mm thick
  – Adipose tissue: 13.3–22.3 mm depending on region
  – Sacrum: spherical segment with 110 mm curvature radius
• Bony prominence extrusion: elliptical, 5.2 mm high
• Load: 217 N applied vertically to simulate 47% body weight
• Boundary conditions: fixed mattress base, friction (0.43 skin-mattress)
• Meshing: Use appropriate solid elements (e.g., SOLID185 or C3D8H)
• Output: surface pressure maps and Green-Lagrange shear strain distribution in ROI

Preferred Tool:
ANSYS Mechanical APDL (nonlinear hyperelastic modeling required)

Please respond with:
• A short plan for how you would approach this simulation (steps, tools, assumptions)
• Examples of similar biomechanical simulations you’ve worked on (preferably soft tissue or pressure-related)
• Your estimated cost and expected delivery time
