    Hi! Can someone help me understand if it makes sense to calculate SAR statistics in a low frequency electrical stimulation (30 Hz)? Thanks!!

    @habib Hi, Thank you for your reply. I can understand that if you enable the titration, the software keeps on scaling the field till sees a stimulation. But it also gives us a number for the scaling field. In this case, I am seeing that number to be 0.13. Doesn't it mean that the field has been scaled down to a factor of 0.13 to create the minimum field for stimulation - I was hoping that number to be orders of magnitude higher. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks for looking into this.

    Hi, There is a tutorial called "Parallel Plates" for the LF (low-frequency) solver. I think it does exactly what you need. You can access the step-by-step instructions from Sim4Life -> Help -> HTML Tutorials -> 3.2.1. Parallel Plates You can also open the Sim4Life project using Sim4Life -> File -> Open Tutorial -> EM LF Tutorials -> Parallel Plates.smash

    Hi Ari, It depends on your purpose. If you use single port simulation, then, you cannot later change the phase difference between the coils. However, if you use multiport simulation, Sim4Life runs 2 simulations for each coil and stores the results separately. This is useful if you would like to postprocess results for different source parameters. For example, you may change the current amplitudes for each coil, or add phase differences. You do not have to run the simulations again. New results will be directly calculated by using the previously stored multiport results. So, if you have enough memory and would like to try different settings for the sources, you had better to use multiport simulation for the above setup. If you want to save time and memory and fixed the source settings, then you may chose single port simulation. I hope this helps. Sayim

    The easiest way I found is to use the power (I=P/V) as it shows you the current lost in different parts of the model as well as overall. have a look at what was mentioned here https://forum.zmt.swiss/topic/24/compute-the-total-current-flowing-between-two-electrodes-in-an-electro-quasistatic-lf-simulation/3?_=1618565314728

    @lj I have followed the yoon-sun arm stimulation tutorial, but I don’t understand the meaning of the results obtained. I don’t know the relationship between these results and tactile feedback, nor can I understand how to get information about tactile sensation and nerve fiber potential. Information link.

    thank you bro,I have found what the wrong ,I have simulated too many times, causing the D drive to run out of space. I cleaned it up and the problem was solved.

    @daolin_qu Could you please check that you are selecting the Nerve_ventral_root_spinal_T1_Brachial_plexus_ulnar_right_6 spline entity and not the nerve itself that instead is a surface mesh entity part of the anatomical body? Thanks!

    @daolin_qu From the image you posted, I see that you haven't yet load the model, that's why you cannot run yet a simulation. You can do that by clicking on the 'Load Model' icon in the top panel. After that, you can assign sensors and run the simulation. The 'Load Model' initiates the discretization of the axon trajectory into compartments (electric circuits describing the electrophysiology of the specified axon model, i.e. SENN).

    what is ARMA? FDTD is not adequate for any simulations where the wavelength is long compared to the object being modeled https://speag.swiss/products/semcad/modules/what-is-fdtd/

    Re{Ez,exp(jβ)} is the real part of the z-component of the electric field and RMS{D(x,y,z,f(0))} is the root mean square of the displacement field which is defined as D = permittivity*E. You can change what you want to see in the properties tab of your screen.

    yeah,thank you for your help,i realise i can refer to other examples,There is a problem with creating voxels after separating the grid. Access Cheesecake cannot view voxels. I wonder what the problem is and hope you can help me. I can add your email address, so that it is convenient to communicate with you.
