English: Shear test simulation movie for two different collagen fiber network geometries: random fiber network vs. prealigned fiber network. The collagen density for this test simulation is 1 mg/ml and deformed the simulation box from 0 strain to 0.5 strain, using a 0.01 strain step increment. Simulation box size is 200 µm (length) ×200 µm (width) ×300 µm (height). The top 50 µm and bottom 50 µm of the box is anchored area. All fiber-beads in the anchored area are fixed and then the top anchored area is deformed to y-direction. Each snapshot image in the movie is taken at the quasi-equilibrium state after each 0.01 strain step (2 µm) was applied.
