+** EXAMPLE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR LAXITY TESTING **
+
+Abaqus Version: 6.13-1
+Specimen: DU01
+Condition: Intact/Healthy
+Main input file for job execution: 0flex_anterior_laxity_load.inp
+
+Description: 
+The example analysis simulates an anterior laxity test at 0 degrees flexion. 
+The first step settles the model into contact and positions the geometry into the desired flexion angle.
+The second step maintains the flexion position and applies the anterior load profile from the experiment. 
+Amplitude cards contain experimental load and excursions (amps_0flex_anterior.inp) and initial joint position (amps_0settling_step.inp). 
+Model outputs include joint loads and displacements for comparison/calibration to the experiment.
