Image-based meshing
open-in-new
<p>Image-based meshing is the automated process of creating computer models for <a href="/facts/Computational_fluid_dynamics/zuWdtNJp">computational fluid dynamics</a> (CFD) and <a href="/facts/Finite_element_method/eUcfP1vn">finite element analysis</a> (FEA) from 3D image data (such as <a href="/facts/Magnetic_resonance_imaging/Vh9yG9qq">magnetic resonance imaging</a> (MRI), <a href="/facts/Computed_tomography/NusPJ2S8">computed tomography</a> (CT) or <a href="/facts/Microtomography/1KwzUjoK">microtomography</a>). Although a wide range of <a href="/facts/Mesh_generation/4YArjFyH">mesh generation</a> techniques are currently available, these were usually developed to generate models from <a href="/facts/Computer-aided_design/5gSXrmmN">computer-aided design</a> (CAD), and therefore have difficulties meshing from 3D imaging data. </p>
