An Objective Method for Assessing the Realism of Simulation Models

Abstract

Our team created an experimental simulation model of a skin suture, and to assess the level of realism, we applied a method of objective assessment of physical properties on specialized equipment and carried out a comparative assessment of various models based on the data obtained. The objective assessment method can be used as an additional criterion to prove the realism of the simulation model. Based on the data obtained, it is possible to produce an artificial reusable skin suture simulator, which will be as close as possible in physical properties to human skin.
