Computational modeling has greatly augmented our understanding of the role of mechanics on biological function, and now it is a widely utilized strategy for biomechanics research. The reach of computational biomechanics spans practically all organs and tissue types, from brain [1] to cardiovascular system [2], and from respiratory function [3] to musculoskeletal response [4]. Simulations have been utilized to explore the etiology of diverse pathologies such as osteoarthritis [5], osteoporosis
