Model description
MorphoMechanX is an AddOn for MorphoDynamX that enables the mechanical modeling of biological tissues by means of Finite Element Method (FEM) for solid mechanics. Unlike engineering FEM softwares, MorphoMechanX is specialized for elements that grow and subdivide, and allows growth and mechanics to interact with integrated genetic network simulations. The software is highly parallelized by means of the Thrust library which can use Cuda on NVIDIA GPUs or OMP on the host processor. MorphoMechanX is developed in collaboration with Gabriella Mosca, and has evolved from her PhD work.
