Objective
The University of Iowa has developed a complete Finite Element meshing workflow to operates from image source through to FE simulation using Abaqus. For this project, we are will be creating new Slicer3 execution model programs to support the meshing workflow and to expand the current meshing capabilities.
Approach, Plan
Two tools will be developed to help support the meshing workflow. This includes the following: 1) Tool for material property assignment for mesh elements using imaging data, and 2) Tool to export VTK unstructured grids to the Abaqus format. Start the development of an execution model for a mapped meshing algorithm that registers a template mesh to a target surface
