[Today's ANSYS] Development and Design Efficiency of Japan's First Assistive Artificial Heart (San Medical Technology Research Institute)

This time, we would like to introduce an interview article with Sun Medical Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd.
They have developed an implantable assistive artificial heart system called "EVAHEART" over approximately 20 years.
↓
While previous assistive artificial hearts were external devices, this implantable version allows for discharge from the hospital and reintegration into society.
It is an extremely specialized medical device that, despite being a life-supporting device classified as a high-level controlled medical device, can also be used at home.
↓
The development has benefited from ANSYS products.
↓
Until recently, simulations were outsourced to external research institutions, but in developing the new system, they have started conducting fluid, electromagnetic, and structural simulations in-house to efficiently advance the design of motors and pumps.
↓
Ultimately, biological verification is essential, but by optimizing each component in advance using simulations, they aim to minimize biological evaluations and pursue efficient development.
↓
They want to use simulations as a tool to analyze results and understand phenomena by formulating hypotheses and executing simulations.
