Dynamic analysis of a needle insertion for soft materials: Arbitrary LagrangianEulerian-based three-dimensional finite element analysis
We performed ALE-based finite element analysis for agar gel and copper needles. We compared simulation results with corresponding experimental results. Deflections of each needle between both sets of results were different. There was no significant difference for mismatching area error. Our results have a potential to use as pre-operative surgical planning.
