TD and EQV of the nasal cartilage framework consequent to different force loadings. The TD (mm) and EQV (kPa) of the nasal cartilage framework were demonstrated under F1 (Aa), F2 (Bb), F3 (Cc) and F4 (Dd). Blue represented the stable part of the model. The changes of TD and EQV were corresponding to color change. The grey shadow represented the pre-simulation position of the model. TD, total deformation; EQV, equivalent von-mises stress
