Abstract
It is possible to observe a state of stress applied to a region around a cavity replicating a body cavity such as a blood vessel and the like in a three-dimensional model. In catheter insert simulation, when stress is applied to the region around the cavity in the three-dimensional model, it is possible to observe the catheter state together with a photoelastic effect corresponding to the stress state in the surrounding region caused by the catheter.
