Allowable movement of the control nodes set up in the finite element model. The arrows indicate the direction of allowable movement. The control nodes were moved along vectors adjacent to the surface normal in the shape optimization analysis. Following each optimization iteration, the finite element model was reconfigured such that nodes on the articular surfaces were made coincident with the adjusted control nodes. Anterior side is to the left.
