generate required mesh for svpre without using gui interface

Dear all,

I tried to perform simulation (including solid modeling) without GUI interface provided by simvascular.
I also noticed that a "mesh-complete" folder containing several mesh files is needed before running svpre.

If I have a wall surface model without capping, what tools (vtk, vmtk, tetgen...) should I use to generate the required mesh files? Any instructions?
Thank you in advanced.

Regards,
Mark

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 SimVascular that you could use to programatically create models and meshes.

Cheers,
Dave
