This is a reduced version of the Flexodeal library which has been structured to follow deal.II tutorial guidelines.

It is intended to simulate the deformation of a block of muscle tissue (similar to a biopsy). The stress response has been simplified to include contributions from muscle fibres (Hill-type model) and the base material (hyperelastic, Yeoh).

Check out this cool video of a fully dynamic, fully active, isometric contraction!

How to use it?

Make sure you have properly set up deal.II v9.3 and its dependencies. For more information, visit their website.
Clone the repository using your SSH keys: git clone git@github.com:javieralmonacid/flexodeal.git. Download the repository as a .zip if you do not want to track your changes or you do not have a GitHub account.
Navigate to the Flexodeal folder using cd.
Call CMake:
- In release mode: cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDEAL_II_DIR=<path/to/deal.II>.
- In debug mode: cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DDEAL_II_DIR=<path/to/deal.II>.
Call make. A simple call to make should suffice.
Run the code. This either achieved by calling make run or ./dynamic-muscle. A folder with the current timestamp will be created. This is where the results of your execution will be stored.
