Geometric Representation — Lesson 2
A stent has a very small cross section. It can be modeled as a line body or solid body:
Line Body:
Solid Body:
How we model the stent can affect its therapeutic value and efficiency.
While simulation is necessary, it is also important to understand how the software can create a stent geometry from drawings and generate an ideal mesh.
This lesson discusses the pros and cons of using a line body versus a solid body. Also discussed is the approach of stent creation for simulation purposes.
