Objective:

Develop an accurate and robust pipeline for subject-specific finite element modelling of human hips using open-source and free software.

Approach:

Starting from the current, validated, modelling pipeline in use in the Biomechanics group at Lund University, replace and adjust the different steps to use openly available tools for the model creation, solution, and post-processing.

Background/Relevance/Application:

The openness and reproducibility of research results has become a relevant point in the research community. Making pipelines open and reproducible can increase trustworthiness in the research community as well as allow more people to access those resources.

Student background:

Mathematics, finite element modelling and/or image processing, programming.
