TD and EQV of the skin envelope consequent to different force loadings. The TD (mm) of the skin envelope was demonstrated under F1 (a, e), F2 (b, f), F3 (c, g) and F4 (d, h). The EQV (kPa) of the skin envelope was demonstrated under F1 (i), F2 (j), F3 (k) and F4 (l). Blue represented the stable part of the model. The length and direction of the arrow represented the value and direction of the deformation respectively. 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
