Computational modeling with finite element analysis (FEA) is an integral component of medical device design and development. Researchers assess dimensions and stability of the experimental device; test load sharing, stresses, and strains; and analyze failures and modifications. ⋯ Prerequisites of quality FEA include a solid understanding of morphology and material properties of the model, a firm grasp of the effects of loads on body structures, and the work of a skilled bioengineer who can translate the ideas of surgeons into an appropriate FEM. With today's modern techniques-computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging, etc.-the bioengineer moves from scan to FEM in just weeks.
