title: [Biomechanical simulation model of the developmental morphology of the human skull. Further observations on the model construction].
abstract: The implementation of a software simulation of a biomechanical model of the human skull, requires a high complexity construction made by a different ellipsoids and planes. At present our model is made by a facial, post-facial, occipital and palatal ellipsoids, a basal plane with a hole, walls of the nasal cavity and conic walls of the orbital cavities. Dimension of the model resemble closely an adult human skull. The physical constants given for the constituting material those of compact bone. The cavity of the model is closed except for the hole of the basal plane and for the posterior openings of the orbital cavities. The number of elements of the model is 416.
