Cardiac elasto-dynamics
=======================

Contains an example of a passive + active hyperelastic simulation of an ellipsoidal left-ventricle model.

Combines a ``Holzapfel-Ogden`` constitutive law (orthotropic, fiber + sheet directions), an ``active stress`` along the fiber direction, and a ``follower pressure`` on the endocardial surface. Time integration uses the midpoint hyperbolic scheme.
