Course Overview
Self-expanding stents are medical devices that treat coronary artery disease, a leading cause of death. This course covers the background, simulation, and evaluation of stent design and performance, using Ansys software to model the complex nonlinear behavior of shape memory materials, the interaction of stent and artery, and the loading conditions of stent deployment and operation. The course is intended for anyone who is interested in biomedical engineering, stent design, or Ansys Mechanical simulation, and provides the necessary knowledge and skills to build, solve, and interpret self-expanding stent simulations.
