Rather than relying on costly physical prototypes or animal testing, researchers now use computational models to simulate muscle forces, joint mechanics, tissue deformation, and surgical outcomes. Three open-source platforms dominate this space: <strong>OpenSim</strong> from Stanford University, <strong>FEBio</strong> from the University of Utah, and <strong>SOFA</strong> from INRIA. Each takes a distinct approach to solving biomechanical problems, and choosing the right one depends on your specific research question, computational resources, and required fidelity.</p>
