Example illustrating the meshing approach for the stented region. An adaptive meshing process created elements of appropriate size in proximal intrastrut regions (A, top images), but regions of low velocity adjacent to stents struts and the distal portion of the stented region contained fewer and larger elements after the adaptive process. The minimum edge size of all elements within the proximal stented region after adapting was therefore determined and explicitly applied within the stented region to generate meshes containing ~8.3 million elements (B, bottom images).
