The tools used during the creasing and folding experiments, i.e. the male ruler, female die and load cell were defined as rigid surfaces, which are shown in Figs. 4 and 5. To make the model simple, the folding boundary conditions used during folding was modeled as a rigid body constrained all clamped nodes of the paperboard and a rotation reference point, instead of modeling the clamping procedure.
Outpatient surgery allows a person to return home on the same day that a surgical procedure is performed. Outpatient surgery is also referred to as ambulatory surgery or same-day surgery. Outpatient surgery eliminates inpatient hospital admission, reduces the amount of medication prescribed, and uses a doctor's time more efficiently.
