    Mapped Material Parameters in Muscle Material

    Hello!

    I am currently working on developing a muscle model where the mixture of materials are modulated by the fat fraction from MRI images. My current solution is to modulate the material parameters similar to the example in the user manual using a Neo-Hookean (https://help.febio.org/docs/FEBioUse...ction-A.2.html). However, this mapping ability does not seem to be a recognized attribute for the muscle material parameters. Is it possible to add in the ability utilize the type attribute to map and math in the muscle material properties?

    Additionally, if this is not an option is there a way to modulate the amount of each material in a mixture, without having to create a material for each element? For example, 30% muscle material with 70% neo-Hookean rather than the equal parts method used currently.

    Thank you,
    Allie

    Hi Allie,

    I added support for assigning maps to the material parameters of the muscle and tendon materials. Please update to the latest development update (see here for instructions) and give it a try. Let me know if you run into any issues.

    Best,
