I want to model organ deformation using solid mechanic module.
In my model I consider that an organ (a parotid ) is made of a linear elastic material with the basic properties defined as suitable for soft tissue (Poisson ratio=0.48,Young modulus =11 kPa,density= 1 kg/m3) .I know the deformation field for that organ and I would like to obtain the boundary load conditions that have produced that displacement in order to apply the obtained load to another organ acquired from CT images of a new different patient.
I'm able to import my displacement field as point cloud data thanks to interpolations node and correctly visualized it as prescribed displacement.
Now my question is: how can I obtain the force field that produced that displacement filed?
