FEBio
Introduction
FEBio (Finite Elements for Biomechanics) is an opensource software package for finite element analysis and was specifically designed for biomechanics applications. It offers modeling scenarios, constitutive models and boundary conditions that are relevant to numerous research areas in biomechanics. Users can solve 3D large deformation solid mechanics as well as solid-fluid (as in porous media) problems. FEBio supports both quasi-static and dynamic analyses. A more detailed overview of FEBio's features follows below.
Overview
A brief overview of the available features follows.
- non-linear (quasi-) static
- non-linear dynamic
- hyperelastic materials (neo-Hookean, Mooney-Rivlin, Ogden, Arruda-Boyce, ...)
- transversely isotropic materials
- poroelasticity
- rigid bodies
- prescribed displacement
- prescribed loading
- non-follower surface pressures
- sliding contact with friction
- non-conforming mesh tying
