Multiphysics simulation for medical applications

The interaction of electromagnetic fields and biological tissues is relevant in various technical applications. The design of medical equipment and treatment plans generally benefits greatly from simulation; additionally, simulation can give insight into living tissue where measurement is almost impossible. This also holds for all kinds of wireless communication devices surrounding us such as mobile phones, where Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) planning is essential at an early stage of the design. The presentation focus is to demonstrate the challenges and the solutions for coupled EM-Thermal simulation workflow.
