Excerpt

An approximate method to model respiratory motion in a CAD human model subject to electromagnetic (or acoustic, thermal) finite-element analysis is suggested and described. Its concept implies using affine transformations, which are implemented in commercial FEM software packages, in the form of a parametric sweep. This method does not require multiple copies of the CAD model or multiple project files. It enables use of arbitrary sampling times and an automatic reposition of on-body and in-body devices. The method was applied to the platform-independent full-body electromagnetic computational model Visible Human Project® (VHP)-Female v. 3.1. Examples of scattering calculations and antenna modeling are provided.
