Re: Simulation User Guide Fix

Hi Justin,

The documentation uses MathJax which is supposed to work on all browsers. I've viewed the SV documentation no problem on all Windows laptops and workstations here, not sure what the problem may be. What kind of computer are you using to view the documentation?

Cheers,
Dave

Re: Are there any ways to use existing STL model in SimVascular

Hi Zhaomin, When you import a model without first importing image data the coordinate extent is not set. To set the extent right-click on the top SV Data Manager node and select Global Reinit from the menu. This rescales the coordinate extent and your model should be visible. Note that the file exte...

Re: Issue opening .DCM files

Hi Alireza, Have a look here http://www.vmtk.org/documentation/getting-started.html. It describes the vmtk command to convert a DICOM image volume into a VTK VTI format file. SV can read in the VTI file. I've tried this and it works no problem. You can download vmtk from here http://www.vmtk.org/dow...

Re: Problem openning STL files

Hi Guillaume, So you were already importing using the **Model Tool -> Import Solid Model** and it did not give you a warning that it did not recognize .STL? That is a bug and I'll open a GitHub issue on that. You should export the model in STEP format (.step file type). SV should be able to import t...

Re: Fail to launch SimVascular for linux

Good find!

I think installing the Nvidea driver from the website was setting the DISPLAY environment variable incorrectly to **localhost:12.0**.

Re: Size scale limitation when trying to import an image

Hi Mehrdad, I could add the capability to decrease the scale factor if that is what you need, no reason to restrict it I think. I don't think it is possible to add direction-dependent scaling, not supported by the MITK framework we are using. Scaling the segmentation would be a bit involved, they ar...

Re: Problem openning STL files

Hi Guillaume, You can import the STL file directly into your project's **Models Tool** by right-clicking on **Models-> Import Solid Model**. This will create of PolyData solid model. If the STL mesh is closed (capped at vessel inlets/outlets) then SV will detect the faces. If it is not closed then y...

Re: Issue opening .DCM files

Hi Alireza, There is a known problem reading in some DICOM image data (see https://github.com/SimVascular/SimVascular/issues/510). The fix for this will be in the next SV release scheduled for the end of this week. As a work around you can convert the DICOM files to a VTK VTI file using vmtk. Cheers...

Re: Why does the simulation run very slowly?

This is actually a fairly common problem for new users, not to save their project before closing SV. I am planning on adding the display of a popup window asking if the user wants to save the project data when closing the project window.

Re: Fail to launch SimVascular for linux

Hi Amirtaha,

What OS/version are you running on? SV only runs on Ubuntu 16 and 18.

The X server "localhost:12.0 looks odd, this is typically :0 on Ubuntu. Are you running SV remotely on another computer?

Cheers,
Dave
