Simplifying the Model

Including the heart valves and the coronary arteries and veins adds additional computational cost due to an increase in element count, as well as additional constraints and contact definitions. To increase performance, you can remove these features from the simulation if your use case does not require any detailed modeling of this anatomy, as described in Removing the Valves and Coronary Arteries/Veins from the Model. Run-Time Performance describes the effect on performance after removing the valves from the simulation.
