Hello,
In my FEA there are viscoelastic+2nd order Ogden material models, hex meshed single bar and boundary conditions extracted from 4D CT scan which capture the extension-flexion-extension of the wrist. To make sure that boundary conditions reproduce well the physiological movement, the rigid bodies with two bones model and applied boundary conditions from 4d CT scan was run. In actual model boundary conditions are applied to the end of bars. The question is it normal that simulation is running for months? The deformation is relatively large. The interpolation does not help significantly to optimise the convergence therefore the run time.
Following Febio parameters are used:
max_refs=150; %Max reforms
max_ups=0; %Set to zero to use full-Newton iterations
opt_iter=150; %Optimum number of iterations
max_retries=150; %Maximum number of retires
dtmin=(1/numTimeSteps)/100; %Minimum time step size
dtmax=1/numTimeSteps; %Maximum time step size
tStep=0.3; %Duration of step
min_residual=1e-15;
Mag_val=1;
