Abstract
This paper presents a new 3D model of the skeletal gastrocnemius muscle. The model was created by combining the muscle fiber representation as a B-spline solid with a continual mechanochemical Usik’s model, which, due to its assumptions, accounts for thermomechanochemical changes in the muscle. The use of Usik’s model in the context of 3D modeling of skeletal muscle has not been met so far. As part of the experiment, an application was developed to generate a 3D muscle. Comparison of real volumes with volumes of the virtual muscles during deformations showed the same results.
