Claim One:
1. A method to be performed by a computer system, the computer system including a processor and memory, the method comprising: generating a computational model representing a surgical scenario, the computational model including a geometric mesh, material properties, and loading conditions; receiving user input from a user via a user interface, wherein the user input includes performing physical motions representing surgical operations or non-surgical invasive procedures; processing the user input and utilizing the input to modify the computational model, wherein processing the user input includes translating the user input, including the performed physical motions, into a series of modifications to the geometric mesh, material property, and loading conditions; running simulations using the computational model in accordance with the user input, wherein running simulations includes producing mathematical representations of surgical outcomes; determining results from the simulations, wherein the results correspond to probable effects or outcomes of performing real life surgical operations or non-surgical invasive procedures corresponding to the user input, wherein the results are determined dynamically while the user is performing steps of a surgery or non-surgical invasive procedure simulation; and presenting the results to the user via the user interface.
