Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. Conference together with the University of Minnesota (body, education) University of Minnesota - The home of Gopher. http://umn.edu/. Address: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. on Sept. 7, 2001. The conference will focus on the latest research, best practices and viewpoints in the areas of cardiovascular mechanics, dental mechanics, orthopedic biomechanics, implants and devices. "The medical industry is aggressively pursuing and utilizing simulation technology to design and manufacture the most advanced biomedical devices available," said Frank Perna, chairman and chief executive officer of MSC.Software. "This conference will bring together leading researchers in the biomedical industry and provide attendees with a better view of the types of simulation tools this rapidly-growing industry is using, as well as what advances are on the horizon." Simulation is becoming an indispensable tool in the development and certification of biomedical equipment. For example, simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. has advanced features that allow analysis of the extremely complicated 3-dimensional contact between a catheter balloon and the artery wall during angioplasty, giving researchers performance information that is otherwise impossible to obtain by physical testing. New Food and Drug Administration submittal requirements for life-saving devices that perform these procedures, including stents and pace makers, require companies to use simulation technology like MSC.Software to ensure optimum device performance. The conference will be held at the Radisson Hotel Metrodome located at 615 Washington Ave. S.E., Minneapolis, Minn., 55414. A full conference agenda will be released on Aug. 20, 2001.
