CRIMSON (CardiovasculaR Integrated Modelling and SimulatiON) open source project

This collection concerns the CRIMSON (CardiovasculaR Integrated Modelling and SimulatiON) software environment. CRIMSON provides a powerful, customizable and user-friendly system for performing three-dimensional and reduced-order computational haemodynamics studies via a pipeline which involves: 1) segmenting vascular structures from medical images; 2) constructing analytic arterial and venous geometric models; 3) performing finite element mesh generation; 4) designing, and 5) applying boundary conditions; 6) running incompressible Navier-Stokes simulations of blood flow with fluid-structure interaction capabilities; and 7) post-processing and visualizing the results, including velocity, pressure and wall shear stress fields.

The minimum specifications to run CRIMSON are: Any AMD64 CPU (note: Intel Core i series are AMD64), Windows (only tested on Windows 10 but might work on Windows 7), 8 GB of RAM

If you are running non-trivial models you will want to have: Quad core CPU or higher, Solid state drive for storing data, Windows, 16 GB of RAM, Dedicated discrete GPU for rendering models.
