Dear SimVascular user community, 

We are excited to share our recent publication summarizing new features in the SimVascular project. This paper summarizes the major new features and provides an overview of the software architecture and underlying methodology in all stages of the SimVascular modeling pipeline.   We invite you to cite this paper as your primary reference for SimVascualr in your own work going forward.
