Re: Meshing a perfectly circular annulus

Hi Brennen, The first error may be due to a failure to import the CAD file correctly. Are you importing using NURB surfaces or polygonal surfaces (STL)? The second error is most likely caused from trying to mesh a geometry that is not connected (i.e. no shared vertices). Could you post your CAD mode...

Re: generate required mesh for svpre without using gui interface

Hi Mark, The easiest thing to do would be to use SimVascular via the GUI to do this. Is there a reason not to use the GUI? It hides all the details of the underlying software (e.g. tetgen) needed to create a mesh for simulation. In a couple of months or so we will be releasing a Python interface to ...

Re: Variable wall parameters based on centerline

The wall thickness is interpolated along the mesh using the values set at the caps. If you look at the scale bar in the Variable Wall Thickness in varwallprop.vtp picture in Example 4 you will see that the mesh thickness varies between 0.1 and 0.2. This should be explained in the tutorial, I will fi...

Re: Simulation Not Running

Hi Susannah, The LINE 0000 , LINE 0001 messages refer to the line number in the svSolver input file (.svpre) stored under the project's Simulation directory. The line number 2 in this file has a bad format set_surface_id_vtp mesh-complete/mesh-surfaces/cap_contour g should look something like this s...

Re: Commandline usage of svPost

Hi Eileen, The all_results-flows.txt and all_results-pressures.txt files are created in SimVascular and not svpost . This functionality should really be in svpost so I will open an Issue for this. As a temporary solution you can copy the simulation results files locally and convert them using SimVas...

Re: Variable wall parameters based on centerline

Hi Rodrigo, There is currently no functionality in SimVascular to set wall parameters based on center line, this would need to be done externally using custom software. I believe that there is a Python script used by our lab members that can do this, let me have a look around and see if I can find i...

Re: Simvascular 2017&2018

Hello Dai,

We will be releasing a new version of SimVascualar this Friday. I believe the new release will fix the installation problems you are having.

Cheers,
Dave

Re: import a simvascular model into solidworks

Hi Ati,

I've created a GitHub Issue for this problem, see https://github.com/SimVascular/SimVascular/issues/398.

You should be able to upload the model there. You will need to have a GitHub account to do this.

Cheers,
Dave

Re: import a simvascular model into solidworks

Hi Ati,

Are you importing your model as a STEP or IGES file? If you are then can you post the file here so I can try to reproduce the problems you are having?

Cheers,
Dave
