In this document, we report the results of T8.4 - Fast device deployment modelling. The goal of this task is to develop computationally efficient, physics-based models for simulation of device deployment and implement a prototype for the SIMCor use cases of PAPS and TAVI. The approach has to maintain an appropriate level of accuracy while simultaneously reducing the model complexity and numerical costs in comparison to the high-fidelity finite element approaches, such as the simulation model described in D8.6 - Report on 3D finite element simulation (PHI, M24). Only simplified parameterization as well as simple geometric anatomy and device representations are required. Such a simplified parameterization reduces preparation as well as simulation time and facilitates the automated processing of a large cohort. It enables interactive and automatic placement, e.g., regarding the orientation or angulation of devices inside a vessel.
