The biofabrication of engineered tissues is an essential area to reconstruct tissues. Until now, to the best of our knowledge, it has not been possible to mimic the biological and biochemical properties. New approaches to developing a new tissue become an attractive target for bioprinting, which is emerging as an essential strategy to recreate the histoarchitecture and the relationship between cells, matrix, and microenvironment. Simulation in a microscale study is a crucial factor to understand specifics physical phenomena and how they affect biological tissue formation. The objective of this paper is to analyze the behavior of the stress on the hierarchical layers of the cartilage using finite element method. The interaction of the collagen fibers with the chondrocyte was observed through the contact regions of the Minimum Principal Stress (compression) analysis accompanied by deformation results. The boundary conditions were applied to a standard 50 μm edge cube with a perpendicular pressure of 4.5*10-5 MPa. The results are promising for future simulations of more detailed models with bias in vivo and in vitro. DOI: https:/doi.org/10.24243/JMEB/3.5.199 2019. Published by Rational Publication.
