 The Process
Typical objects that Bioengineering Center of Wayne State University mesh are bones and organs. The geometrical data is typically reconstructed based on medical imaging (MRI or CT scans). The surface data (nurbs or facetted) is directly imported into ICEMCFD Med. The Bioengineering Center use ICEMCFD Med for basic repair of the geometry (holes) and then transfer the data to the Hexa module. The blocking technique is extremely useful to help them find an acceptable meshing topology. Once the mesh is generated based on their minimum size constrains, it is optimized for quality in ICEMCFD Med and exported to a format supported by their preprocessing tools.
The Benefits
For Bioengineering Center meshing, the key benefit of ICEMCFD Hexa lays in the separation of the search for an acceptable meshing topology from the meshing generation itself. Combined with the top - down approach and easy block editing, it allows them to:
- Try various meshing topologies very quickly independently from the mesh density.
- Change the element density easily without changing the topology
- Use similar blocking for different individuals.
