| Summary: | Modeling and simulation features are absolutely essential in biomechanics and biomaterial technology, with applications ranging from rigid body dynamics to musculoskeletal modelling of locomotion, limb movement, and motor control to assess deformations and stresses in joints and tissue for medical device advancement. The purpose of this study was to have the finite element method to characterize the mechanical properties of an animal skin specimen collection, namely a goat skin. The temperature gradient between 33°C and 36°C is one of the most critical elements determining skin elasticity. Raw mechanical data, specimen dimension, and node detection were all added to the operation using a pre-processor. The next step was to visualize the specimen's mechanical properties using ANSYS software. Finally, after the external load was applied, post-processing would be used to display the displacement results and stress-strain behavior. Overall, the accuracy of the displacement is determined by the precision of the nodes and meshing element. A minimal research recommendation was made on the skin tissue specimen using computational software. The development of computational software analysis on animal or human skin, on the other hand, will excite the contribution to reducing donor dependency in the future. © 2023 Author(s).
