An in-silico benchmark for the tricuspid heart valve - Geometry, finite element mesh, Abaqus simulation, and result data set.

ABSTRACT: This article provides Abaqus input files and user subroutines for performing finite element simulations of the tricuspid heart valve with an idealized geometry. Additional post-processing steps to obtain a ParaView visualization file (*.vtk) of the deformed geometry are also provided to allow the readers to use the included ParaView state file (*.pvsm) for customizable visualization and evaluation of the simulation results. We expect this first-of-its-kind in-silico benchmark dataset will facilitate user-friendly simulations considering material nonlinearity, leaflet-to-leaflet contact, and large deformations. Additionally, the information included herein can be used to rapidly evaluate other novel in-silico approaches developed for simulating cardiac valve function. The benchmark can be e
