[Evaluating] Does Fenics support soft-body simulation

[Olumide]

Hello Comunity,

I am evaluating Fenics and I like much of what I see. I am looking to solve on problems involving soft-bodies, i.e. characterized by large deformations (e.g. human tissue) and lots of constraints. Is Fenics geared to solving such problems?

Regards,

I would suggest doing a Google scholar search, as there are plenty of papers relating to biocomputing and FEniCS, see for instance:

• https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352711018300979
• http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1729/paper-05.pdf
