چکیده
Introduction Medical data is often stored in the form of two dimensional images, detailed slices of sections of the body. Images representing the interior can be obtained using a number of technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computer aided topography (CAT) and ultrasound. Many forms of 3D images are sampled from two dimensional slices. Medical data stored as sets of slices can be used to generate a three dimensional representation of the data, which can then be used to easily visualise and study this large collection of data. The finite element method (FEM) has a wide range of application in simulating a volume (or an area) subjected to external forces. These can be used in conjunction with the 3D representations of the medical data to produce accurate simulations of physical properties of the data. Aims The aim of this project is to produce a system that will allow the user to specify a set of slices, which will then be used, by the system, to produce a volumetric mesh representation of the data.

A new conforming mesh generator for three-dimensional discrete fracture networks
Nowadays, numerical modelings play a key role in analyzing hydraulic problems in fractured rock media. The discrete fracture network model is one of the most used numerical models to simulate the geometrical structure of a rock-mass. In such media, discontinuities are considered as discrete paths for fluid flow through the rock-mass while its matrix is assumed impermeable. There are two main pa...
متن کاملA finite-element mesh generator based on growing neural networks
A mesh generator for the production of high-quality finite-element meshes is being proposed. The mesh generator uses an artificial neural network, which grows during the training process in order to adapt itself to a prespecified probability distribution. The initial mesh is a constrained Delaunay triangulation of the domain to be triangulated. Two new algorithms to accelerate the location of t...

The finite element method (FEM) [1] is one of the most effective numeric methods for solving linear and non-linear multi-dimensional scientific and technical problems. It allows modeling of systems with a complex geometry and an irregular physical structure. One of the most time-consuming steps when solving three-dimensional problems using the FEM method is building adaptive mesh. The mesh shou...

It is difficult to develop an algorithm which is able to generate the appropriate mesh around the interfaces in bimaterials. In this study, a corresponding algorithm is proposed for this class of unified structures made from different materials with arbitrary shapes.

متن کاملGeneration of quadrilateral mesh over analytical curved surfaces
An automatic adaptive quadrilateral mesh conversion scheme for the generation of adaptive refinement meshes over analytical curved surfaces is proposed. The starting point of the quadrilateral mesh generator is a background triangular mesh of the curved surface. By a carefully controlled process to merge two triangles at a time the triangular mesh can be completely converted to quadrilaterals. ...
متن کاملImplementation in ALBERTA of an Automatic Tetrahedral Mesh Generator
This paper introduces a new automatic tetrahedral mesh generator on the adaptive finite element ALBERTA code. The procedure can be applied to 3D domains with boundary surfaces which are projectable on faces of a cube. The generalization of the mesh generator for complex domains which can be split into cubes or hexahedra is straightforward. The domain surfaces must be given as analytical or disc...
