Project Description

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
Being able to visualize, load and save volumetric meshes Being able to create volumetric meshes from label maps (or segmentation?) and possibly edit them	Initial discussions needed with Curtis and Steve based on existing work: IA FEMesh from Slicer 3, BodyCentricCubicMesh and MeshCompression modules, and the CleaverExtension. Probably investigate the creation of a MRML node similar to Models (possibly create a hierarchy between both?) that would wrap a vtkUnstructuredGrid.
