Table 1. Sensitivity tests performed in this study.

Parameter	# Models	Tests
Number of elements	8	Increasing element quantity from 101,674 to 1,404,279
Balancing-Working Ratio	11	+0.1 increment of ratio from 0 to 1.0
Muscle ratio	8	PCSA, mass, dry skull estimates plus individual muscle groups
Muscle number	7	Temporalis only to 6 subgroups of the temporalis and masseter
Bite point constraint	6	Single node constraint to area with 66 nodes
TMJ constraint	4	single node, single link, row of nodes, row of links

A total of 44 models of the same mandible were used in the analyses; some models were used in multiple test categories.
