Stent Modeling on ANSYS
 

Hi,

I am trying to model a coronary artery stent on ANSYS, but have been having some errors that I don't know how to fix. I'm placing the stent on top of a cylinder (to model the balloon it is placed on when the stent is first placed in the vessel). When the stent expands, it passes right through the artery instead of coming into contact with it and stop expanding. My ANSYS file can be found at this link (the link should work - if not, let me know). If anyone can provide some help to solve this issue or has a functional stent ANSYS model that I could see, that would be much appreciated!

Thank you!
