Abstract

The users simply upload the experimental displacement field generated by the cell's movement to the Finite Element Analysis Program (FEAP) software interface. The numerical simulation can then be used to run models with different elastic material properties (E, v), geometry, and mesh sizes to obtain traction field and stresses over the entire region
