Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: providing access to a tissue modeling engine; receiving, by the modeling engine, prosthesis characteristics of a prosthesis and tissue characteristics of a tissue; constructing, by the modeling engine, an observable model comprising a prosthesis model according to the characteristics of the prosthesis and a tissue model according to the characteristics of the tissue that includes a time varying mutual deformation indicating how the prosthesis model and the tissue model deform one another over time; and configuring a display to present the observable model including a depiction of the time varying mutual deformation between the prosthesis model and the tissue model, wherein the depiction comprises at least two snap shots of a deformation of the prosthesis model and a deformation of the tissue model.
