Importing complete mesh for simulation
Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2021 3:26 pm
Hello,
I am trying to import a .stl or .vtk file into SimVascular to run a fluid simulation. When importing, it important the I retain the original geometry because I need to have a one-to-one correspondence between these simulation results and results simulated through other means, on the same mesh.
I will describe my current (unsuccessful) attempt to do this. I create a new project (File > Create SV Project). I then right click on the "Models" button in the Data Manager tab and select "Import Solid Model" (Data Manager > Models > Import Solid Model). I select my .vtk file and select "Open", but then I am greeted with a message that says "No face info found. Would you like to extract faces for the model?" If I select "Yes" I then have to choose the separation angle and press okay. At this point I was hoping to at least see some model, but the model is not visible, and there appears to be no face info when I open the "SV Modeling" tab and select my model from the Data Manager.
I have included a link to a simple pipe model as a .vtk and .stl at the drive link here:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing
Required info: MacOS 11.2.3, SimVascular 2020.04.06
Thanks,
Dan
