CardioMechanics

CardioMechanics is a simulation environment designed for (but not limited to) cardiac tissue electromechanics problems. As of 09/2023, active development on this software is no longer pursued. Therefore, support is limited. Even though this repository includes a standalone cardiac electrophysiology solver, we recommend using openCARP instead if you are only interested in cardiac electrophysiology.

Features

The following features are available:

• Single cell electrophysiology model test suite.
• Electrophysiology simulations using Monodomain and Bidomain.
• Passive and active tissue mechanics.
• Support for 1-, 2-, and 4-chamber heart geometries.
• Recovery of the reference configuration.
• Passive parameter optimization.
• Lumped parameter model of the circulatory system featuring heart valve dynamics.
• Electromechanically coupled simulations.
• XML-based simulation setup.
