چکیده

Finite-element modelling is a standard way for simulation of soft tissue deformation. For proper modelling, triangular surface models must fulfil requirements of accuracy, smoothness, and conciseness. Several techniques proposed in the literature do not meet these requirements. In this paper we extend a new technique called SurfaceNets, which can create a globally smooth triangle mesh that retains fine detail.

Improving Triangle Mesh Quality with SurfaceNets

Simulation of soft tissue deformation is a critical part of surgical simulation. An important method for this is finite element (FE) analysis. Models for FE analysis are typically derived by extraction of triangular surface meshes from CT or MRI image data. These meshes must fulfill requirements of accuracy, smoothness, compactness, and triangle quality. In this paper we propose new techniques ...

Curvature Based Mesh Improvement

It is very important to improve the quality of surface meshes for numerical simulations, solid mesh generation, and computer graphics applications. Optimizing the form of the mesh elements it is necessary to preserve new nodes of the mesh as close as possible to a surface approximated by the initial mesh. This paper proposes a novel technique in which both of the requirements to mesh improvemen...

Tetrahedral Image-to-Mesh Conversion Software for Anatomic Modeling of Arteriovenous Malformations

We describe a new implementation of an adaptive multi-tissue tetrahedral mesh generator targeting anatomic modeling of Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) for surgical simulations. Our method, initially constructs an adaptive Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) mesh of high quality elements. Then, it deforms the mesh surfaces to their corresponding physical image boundaries, hence, improving the mesh fideli...

Automated Structured All-Quadrilateral and Hexahedral Meshing of Tubular Surfaces

High-quality quadrilateral and hexahedral meshes of tubular structures are useful for many CAD and CAE applications in medical and industrial environments. In this paper, we propose an automated structured meshing strategy for tubular surfaces that possess multiple branches and n-furcations. From a given triangulated mesh, a centerline is extracted and individual branches are identified based o...

Reliable Isotropic Tetrahedral Mesh Generation Based on an Advancing Front Method

In this paper, we propose a robust isotropic tetrahedral mesh generation method. An advancing front method is employed to control local mesh density and to easily preserve the original connectivity of boundary surfaces. Tetrahedra are created by each layer. Instead of preparing a background mesh for mesh spacing control, this information is estimated at the beginning of each layer at each node ...
