Computational models of biological systems are becoming more and more common in medical research areas. Evidence of this can be found by examining the number of articles containing the term “finite element” in the expansive National Institutes of Health (NIH) digital research archive PubMed. Numerical modeling of biological systems allows the execution of “computational experiments” that are impossible to duplicate in reality, and provides many unique insights for biological research questions. This paper presents the use of COMSOL Multiphysics to generate a random sample of computational vocal fold models.
