    Biosimulation models are used to understand the multiple or different causative factors that cause impairment in human organs. Finite Element Method (FEM) provide a mathematical framework to simulate dynamic biological systems, with applications ranging from human ear, cardiovascular, to neurovascular research. Finite Element (FE) Biosimulation experiments produce huge amounts of numerical data. Visualising and analysing this huge numerical biosimulation data is a strenuous task. In this paper, we present a Linked Data Visualiser–called SIFEM Visualiser–to help domain-experts (experts in the field of ear mechanics) and clinical practitioners (otorhinolaryngologists) to Visualise, analyse and compare biosimulation results from heterogeneous, complex, and high volume numerical data. The SIFEM visualiser builds on conceptualising different aspects of biosimulations. In addition to the visualiser, we also propose how biosimulation numerical data can be conceptualised, such that it sustains the visualisation of large numerical data. The SIFEM Visualiser aims to help domain scientists and clinical practitioners exploring and analysing Finite Element (FE) numerical data and simulation results obtained from different aspects of inner ear (Cochlear) model — such as biological, geometrical, mathematical, and physical models. We validate the SIFEM Visualiser in both dimensions of qualitative and quantitative evaluation.This publication has emanated from research supported in part by the research grant from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) under Grant No. SFI/12/RC/2289 and EU project SIFEM (contract number 600933)

    Healthcare experts have recently turned towards the use of Biosimulation models to understand the multiple or different causative factors that cause impairment in human organs. The applications of biosimulations have been applied in different biological systems ranging from human ear, cardiovascular, to neurovascular research using Finite Element Method (FEM). FEM provide a mathematical framework to simulate these dynamic biological systems. Visualizing and analyzing huge amounts of Finite Element (FE) Biosimulation numerical data is a strenuous task. In this paper, we demonstrate a Linked Data Visualiser -- called SIFEM Visualiser -- to help domain-experts to Visualise, analyze and compare biosimulation results from heterogeneous, complex, and high volume numerical data. The SIFEM Visualiser aims to help healthcare experts in exploring and analyzing Finite Element (FE) numerical data and simulation results obtained from different aspects of inner-ear (Cochlear) model - such as biological, geometrical, mathematical, and physical models.This publication has emanated from research supported in part by the research grant from Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) under Grant Number SFI/12/RC/2289 and EU project SIFEM (contract Number 600933).
