Abstract: Anatomic simulators, assemblies, and related methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, an anatomic simulator may include constraint panels that define a variably sized volume configured to receive an organ model. An elastic member may be configured to provide a restorative force when the constraint panels are moved to an expanded configuration. Alignment apertures in the constraint panels may be configured to permit marking of an organ model and/or visibility of a mark disposed on the organ model to position and orient the organ model in the anatomic simulator. In some embodiments, an anatomic simulation assembly may include an anatomic simulator, a pressure source, pneumatic controls, a pressure sensor, and a processor. In some embodiments, a method of simulating anatomic motion may include flowing a fluid to an organ model, sensing a pressure, and controlling the flow of fluid based on the sensed pressure to maintain a target pressure.
