Abstract
⺠3D finite element implementation of active stress fibre constitutive formulation. ⺠Stress fibre growth, remodelling and contractility predicted for round and spread cells. ⺠Dominant fibres are predicted parallel to the long axis of polarised spread cells. ⺠Simulated compression of contractile cells agrees with experimental data. ⺠Stress fibres in spread cells increase compression resistance.
