Dear Mimics users,

in some studies, it is mentioned that they used “Mimics default empirical formular” for material assignment to the bone structure. I would like to ask if there is any reference for this empirical expressions?

The formula is: E = 5925 * p - 388.8

In the Mimics user manual under “Material Assignment” section, and STEP D, it is mentioned: “STEP D: Choose to write out only the E-Modulus material properties in the exported file by deselecting the selection boxes before Density and Poisson Coefficient. We will use the following expression for the EModulus: E-Modulus = -388.8 + 5925 * Density”. Many studies use this formula as Mimics default empirical formular.

Best regards,
