The ML CathCAD® software package allows the User to model MultiLumen (ML) Composite Tubing. The software computes Flexural (EI), Longitudinal (EA), and Torsional (GJ) rigidities and includes the following additional capabilities:
- A wide range of MultiLumen configurations may be modeled including (a) Double D, (b) Multiple Round Lumens (two, three, four, or five), (c) Circle Crescent w/ Round Lumen, and (d) Composite ML including braid reinforced. If the configuration you are modeling is not available, the software allows the User to enter the necessary parameters into ML CathCAD® as computed from a design program such as Solidworks® or AutoCAD® .
- Catheter failure mode analysis including tensile strength, torque, kink radius, and external pressure rating.
- Flexural rigidity and kink radius resultants are computed about both the x and y-axis to handle non-symmetric MultiLumen designs.
- All modeling results may be exported to Microsoft Excel
- The ML CathCAD® software package runs under Windows 7/8/10 operating systems and also provides inherent support for the European “Comma for Decimal Point” Number formatting.
