Method for modeling an exudate on a substrate

摘要

Methods of using computer based models for simulating the physical behavior of bodily exudates with absorbent articles.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method of simulation, comprising:
representing at least a portion of a substrate with a computer based model, wherein the substrate is represented by a plurality of elements with each of the elements including an amount of the substrate; representing a domain space including the substrate; transforming the substrate to fit the domain space; representing a Non-Newtonian bodily exudate into the domain space with a computer based model of the bodily exudate; representing a Newtonian bodily exudate in to the domain space with a second computer based model of the bodily exudate; wherein the Non-Newtonian bodily exudate and the Newtonian bodily exudate are represented simultaneously; transforming the model of the substrate to form a computer based model on the distribution of the Newtonian and the Non-Newtonian bodily exudates using finite element analysis; wherein the transformation of the substrate is simultaneous to the distribution of the bodily exudates.
