Abstract

pyMechT fills an important gap for simulating simplified models in soft tissue mechanics, such
as for ex-vivo testing protocols. Instead of detailed finite element simulations, which can
be time-consuming and excessive for certain scenarios, pyMechT allows one to configure and
run simulations extremely quickly. Moreover, the Python package makes it straightforward
to perform parameter estimation and Bayesian inference. Its unique capabilities include
incorporating layered structure of tissues and residual stresses.
