Week 5

During this week, we decided to redesign the hinges of our artificial heart valve. Hopefully, the tests that we will be performing on our valve design prove to us that we made the right decision. Currently we have worked on our 3D model using Creo Parametrics and are almost done with our 3D design.

New idea for design of hinge

Once we are finished, we will test the design using ANYS CFX (Computational Fluid Analysis) and then we will 3D print it. After having the prototype ready (which will be scaled 3 times the original size), we are planning to test it using PVC tubes and a fluid with a density similar to water.

Wish us good luck during this week!
