Abstract :
The paper presents a new numerical package for modelling and simulation of human circulatory system. The package provides many functions that are required in cardiovascular biomechanics. It is very useful tool for studying behavior of individual components of the human circulatory system, such as: left/right ventricular, systemic venous/arterial circulation, pulmonary arterial/venous circulation etc. It can also be a useful tool for education purposes. Moreover, it can be used for developing and testing of new mechanical circulatory devices, or ventricular assist devices (VAD). A short presentation of blocks that are the part of the package, is included. Also a example of application is presented.
