Based on the development and construction of the artificial
pulmonary heart, the project required a single resource, the rapid prototyping
3D printer. The 3D printing is paid for through Drexel University and did
not affect the budget of the group.
After the prototype of the artificial valve was created, the group
wanted to simulate blood flow and valve effectiveness through online simulation
software. The group looked into the MATLAB addition, Simulink. The
student edition of this software is $29, and the group was willing to put the
expense into the budget. However, there were several discrepancies with
acquiring the software. MATLAB said the student version of Simulink is
not compatible with Drexel University’s TAH Site License. Moreover, the
company never responded with a full-price version quote for the group’s
project. There has been no other purchases within the group for another
software program, but there may be possible expenses for software in the next
week.
