Case Studies
1. Risk of Rupture of Cerebral Aneurysms
CFD models were used to analyze fluid-structure interactions within aneurysms, assessing rupture risks. MRI data was processed in Simpleware to create artery models, which were then analyzed in ANSYS Fluent.

2. Understanding Sleep Apnea
Finite Element Analysis was used to study airway collapse using a 3D model created from CT scans in Simpleware, providing insights into obstructive sleep apnea therapy.

3. Lymphatic System Analysis
Simpleware was used to segment and mesh lymphatic system samples for flow analysis in Siemens CFD solver, revealing insights into fluid dynamics and nitric oxide transport.

4. Circle of Willis Flow Analysis
Simpleware converted MRI scans into CFD meshes to study the role of communicating arteries in the Circle of Willis, providing insights into blood flow dynamics.

Assessing the Risk of Rupture of Cerebral Aneurysms M. Sanchez1, 2 • D. Ambard2 • V. Costalat2 • S. Mendez2 • F. Jourdan2 • F. Nicoud2, 1 Philips Healthcare, France; 2University of Montpellier, France CFD models were used for analyzing fluid-structure-interactions (FSI) within an aneurysm, to characterize the risk of rupture for soft (close to rupture) aneurysms and stiff (healthy) aneurysms. MRI patient data of an aneurysm was imported into Simpleware software and segmented and processed to create a model of a specific artery. Boundary conditions were set before the model was exported as a volume...
