CA - FEM coupling for heart modelling
Cellular automata (CA) are used for simulation of action potential wave
propagation in heart tissue. Their results serve as an input to our FEM
code. The finite elements have special "muscle" material (fibres) which can
generate the active contraction depending among other circumstances on an
activation level. The activation level can be observed from the action
potential of the tissue.
