Additional information
The physical background of this model is the laser stimulation of skin in order to measure the density of nociceptive receptors. For a correct interpretation of the experimental data, an accurate knowledge of the temperature distribution in time and across the skin is needed. The metamodel allows selecting various laser types (Gaussian, flat-top, C02, YAP, YAG, ...) and various stimulus characteristics (imposed flux, closed-loop controlled temperature). Each simulation generates a graphical result file plot.pdf
that is directly interpretable by clinicians.
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 laser.py located in the ELMERMODELS/laser directory.
A detailed tutorial is available here.
