From scan to solved model.
Geometry and material properties both come from the patient’s CT, calibrated per case — so the result describes that bone, and every value can be traced back to the scan it came from.
CT in
The scan is checked and the bone separated out automatically. The shape comes from the patient, not from a template stretched to approximate them.
Real bone, not one number
Bone varies from point to point, and we carry that variation through instead of averaging it away. Cortical and trabecular regions end up in the model with the density they actually have, where they actually are.
Implant, mesh, solve
An implant is placed against that bone and the whole assembly is analysed — contact represented at the bone–implant interface — with the geometry checked at every step before the analysis runs.
The same bone, three ways.
A shape, a mesh, and a result — the three states every case passes through. Pick one, or let it cycle.
- Model — the bone as geometry
- Mesh — divided up to be solved
- Result — where the load concentrates
Every case runs through 76 automated checks before a result is reported, and every run records what produced it — so a result can be regenerated, not just read once and trusted. The reasoning behind that is written up in full in the white paper.
