Verification & Validation
Recall from Pre-analysis, the equivalent stiffness of the bone model is:
ANSYS gives a stiffness of 29.33 MPa for the bone model. According to Professor Hernandez, the stiffness for this model is about 24MPa. There is an 22% error and the source of the error is currently being determined.
