@RemiDelaunay we have used these tools for that purpose before (example: https://doi.org/10.1109/TUFFC.2014.006594); but the excitation has to be manually created using one of two approaches:
- You can do multiple Field II simulations, one for each focal depth, and superpose those intensity fields to create a single intensity field to create the point loads. This approach neglects the timing offset between the start/finish of each sequential excitation at discrete focal depths.
- You can run multiple FEM simulations for each single-focus excitation, which can take into account the different start/end times of the impulsive excitation, and then superpose the FEM outputs. We've used this approach in the past to evaluate the effects of the timing of the excitations (shallow -> deep foci, vs. deep -> shallow foci).
Since we decouple the acoustic simulation from the resultant tissue dynamics, you can choose what assumptions are best for your problem.
I hope this helps!

@mlp6 Thank you for your detailed answer. It does help a lot !
I suppose the second solution is preferable to account for the time offset for each push. When you say 'superpose the FEM outputs', do you mean I would just need to sum the resulting displacement data for each single-focus excitation by considering the time difference between each push (in order to obtain the 'cone' shape) ? Would it requires any normalisation/pre-processing step prior the sum operation in that case ?

@RemiDelaunay yep - just doing a temporally-aligned summation should work since this is all simulated as a linear system. W/r to normalization, you can take that into account w/ how you scale the Isppa for each excitation if you have experimental data to set this magnitude, or let Field II take into account the attenuation effects for each case.

Great I will try that then. Thank you !
