simcardems is a pure python package coupling the cardiac mechanics solver pulse and the cardiac electrophysiology solver cbcbeat, which are both python packages based on the legacy version of the open source finite element framework FEniCS.

  • We recommend using the dedicated Docker container, which includes all the aforementioned dependencies.

  • simcardems is also available on PyPI and can be installed with pip. This option is recommended for developers who want to contribute to the software, but requires installation of the dependencies.
