Mesh Generation

Homepage Consortium Reports/Events
 

Based on the segmented image datasets and on the individually measured and calculated material properties high quality finite element meshes have to be created to warrant the accuracy of the simulation results and to describe the body part as precise as possible.

The meshes will automatically be refined in regions of high material property inhomogeneities to ensure the best individual modelling together with the minimal calculation effort, never losing sight of the numerical properties of the arising mesh. Two automatic mesh generators specially designed for generating meshes starting from medical datasets have been developed by NEC&MPI and USFD&ESI.

The mesh generator Vgrid developed by NEC&MPI is available online.
