1.1 Purpose-This guide establishes general requirements and considerations for the development of finite element models used in the evaluation of the performance of a metallic vascular stent design under uniform radial loading. Suggested criteria are provided for evaluating the typical cases of metallic stents under uniform radially oriented and pulsatile loading. Recommended procedures for checking and validating the finite element model(s) are provided as a means to assess the model and analysis results. Finally, the recommended content of an engineering report covering the mechanical simulations is presented.
