This metamodel is a toolkit for drug patch conception. The user can determine the geometry of the patch and initial drug concentrations. A number of drugs are pre-tabulated with their diffusivities. Elmer solves a convection-diffusion equation and postprocessing tools display the time evolution of drug concentration across the epidermis and the dermis and generates a graphical report with the rate at which drug is transmitted to the skin.
To start the model, open a terminal from the left menu-bar of the virtual machine window, and issue the command gmsh at the prompt. Then, from the File > Open menu of Gmsh, open the file patch.py located in the ELMERMODELS/patch directory.
