Systole and diastole of a human heart are simulated by FSI finite element method. Heart muscle is assumed to be hyper-elastic material. ALE finite element method is employed for blood fow analysis. A strong coupling method is used to cope with strong interaction between the fluid and the structure. Shrinking force of heart muscle is introduced by the initial strain for the muscle solid elements. A numerical result of a simplified left ventricle model is given to demonstrate the capability of the newly developed FSI program.
