From Scan to Mesh in Minutes

Step 1:
Image Processing in ScanIP

• Import image data
• Resample image if required
• Apply noise reduction filters etc.
• Segment image into different masks
• Volume and topology preserving smoothing

Step 2 - OPTIONAL:
Import CAD data in ⁺ScanCAD

• Useful for medical implants
• Interactive intuitive positioning widget
• Visual feedback

Step 2: CAD integration in ⁺ScanCAD
 

Step 3:
FE Mesh Generation in ⁺ScanFE

• Assign mesh parameters
• Define contact surfaces and node sets
• Define material properties (e.g. Hounsfield -> Young’s modulus function)
• Conforming interfaces
• Robust multi-part meshing

Step 4:
Import directly into FE or CFD software package

• Apply loads and boundary conditions
• Run solver
• Post process/visualise results
• ABAQUS, Ansys, COMSOL, FLUENT, LS-Dyna, IDEAS, MSC Patran
• Alternatively export to STL for RP
