Re: Generating constant wall thickness of a patient-specific geometry (aortic dissection)

... Oh and I should add: If you see a dent in the extruded mesh where the flap was, then you'll have to clean up those regions manually, either by "erasing and refilling" cells in those areas or by using smoothing or sculpting tools in meshmixer.. To then get your final wall model, use your original...

Re: Generating constant wall thickness of a patient-specific geometry (aortic dissection)

Hi Malte, There is no straight-forward way to do this kind of stl-manipulation in SimVascular at the moment. I would recommend using meshmixer (http://www.meshmixer.com) which is free for download. A possible workflow in Meshmixer would then look like this: 1) Import your stl file into meshmixer 2) ...

ybar and timeDeriv

Hi Everyone, I was wondering how the datasets ybar (5 components) and TimeDeriv (4 components) are exactly defined? I am asking, because I would like to determine, whether a solution with a stationary inflow profile has reached stationary state (within a tolerance..). Depending on the contents of ti...

smoothing PolyData solid model before meshing

Hi Everyone, I am using SimVascular 2.10320 on a mac. I would like to create a tetrahedralization (with Tetgen) of a PolyData model. The model consists of the aorta with two branching vessels, and at the bifurcation my poly-data model is quite "bumpy" so I would like to smooth it with SimVascular be...

Re: WSS calculation

Hi!

The new release gives the correct result in both settings!
Thanks!

Best,

Re: WSS calculation

Hi! I am using the version 2.0.10222. I installed this Version beginning of March, and the file /Applications/SimVascular.app/Contents/Resources/release-date contains "150222010007"; Yes, the only difference in both runs was the resistance, so in Setting 1, the solver.inp file contains: Number of Re...

WSS calculation

Hi! I just started using SimVascular 2.0 on a Mac Yosemite, and your documentation for a poiseuille flow problem (http://simvascular.ucsd.edu/docsFlowSolver.html) was very helpful! I have one question about the WSS output concerning two different outflow conditions. For both settings I specified "ze...
