TendonMech: An open source high performance code to compute the mechanical behavior of tendon fascicles

TendonMech is an open-source finite element software for the computation of the mechanical response of tendon fascicles. The software simulates the fascicle structure, accounting for both its inner composite fiber–matrix nature and for its helical structural arrangement. It allows for the simulation...
