Simpleware +ScanFE Module

The +ScanFE meshing module bolts onto ScanIP and provides a robust approach to the conversion of segmented 3D image data into multi-part volumetric models. +ScanFE generates volume and/or surface meshes, contact surfaces and material properties from segmented data. These high quality meshes can be directly imported into a range of commercial FE and CFD packages.

+ScanFE Key Features
• Mesh generation from data sets of arbitrary geometric complexity
• Topology and volume preserving smoothing algorithms
• Meshing of multiple structures/regions of interest
• Conforming contact surfaces/interfaces
• User definable adaptive meshing
• Material properties assigned to mesh based on signal strength
• Robust coupled fluid-structure domains meshed

Some of the benefits using +ScanFE
The ease and accuracy with which models can be obtained have opened up a wide range of previously difficult or intractable problems to numerical analysis. These include non destructive testing of complex parts and components, inverse material characterisation of nano and micro-structural composites and foams, and simulations based on patient specific medical models from in vivo scans.
• Automated, robust and fast - total time from 3D image to model can be minutes
• No intermediary steps necessary - produce meshes of superiour quality in a fraction of the time taken with other approaches
• Complex meshes generated and solved on 'off the shelf' PC
• Guaranteed low distortion high quality surface and volumetric meshes
• RP models are exact geometric replicas of FE mesh
• Direct input of surface and/or volume meshes into FE and CFD solvers
