Hello,
I would like to build a model based on new MRI-data to be able to conduct individual therapy planning. The biggest step will be creation of the proper mesh to be able to use the python-script.
I have not yet worked with TrueGrid, but based on what I read I understand the script for mesh generation is rather complex and values and parameters used for mesh creation depend on the specific specimen. Would it be difficult to adapt the meshing script? Do you have documentation about how you built the meshing script?

Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Truegrid is a powerful mesh generation software, yet it is proprietary. The learning curve is rather steep but the software allows you to conduct parametric meshing and to generate high quality hexahedral meshes. As long as the topology of the geometries are similar, the meshing may work on other knees. I suspect that a lot of tweaking will be necessary. The best option is to consult Truegrid documentation. You may also want to use other meshing software. Our python scripts import a mesh (and set definitions) as defined in a text file using syntax of Abaqus.

Best,

Ahmet
