Simulation of Implanted Medical Devices

This webinar will discuss the simulation challenges and solutions for designing small implanted devices in the context of a geometrically complex electrically large environment – the body. The topics include definition of complex dieletric and thermal material properties, choice of numerical method, HPC, and field visualization and post-processing.
