title: [A modular software concept for individual numerical simulation (FEM) of the human mandible].
abstract: A new modular software concept for individual numerical simulation of the human mandible using the finite element method (FEM) is presented. The main task is an individual analysis of regional stress and stress-compatibility on the basis of computed tomographic data in individual patients. Simulation should, however, also be possible in parallel with biomechanical experiments, or for further research projects. For this purpose, rapid and uncomplicated generation of the FEM model, easy modification of input data, and short computation times are required. Practical use in the clinical setting makes appreciable additional demands on the individual software components.
