Abstract Summary
This presents the capabilities and recent features of ArtiSynth (www.artisynth.org), a free, open source 3D modeling system developed at the University of British Columbia to support combined multibody and finite element (FEM) simulation. It provides a large selection of modeling components together with a highly interactive platform that allows users to inspect and simulate their models, and is currently being used for a broad range of applications in biomechanics, medicine, dentistry, and linguistics.
