The export interface allows data created with +ScanFE to Comsol Multiphysics 3.4 for modelling and simulation without requiring re-meshing or pre-processing.
Simpleware and Comsol have reached a partnership agreement to provide an export interface from Simpleware's +ScanFE 3D meshing software to Comsol Multiphysics 3.4.
The interface enables biomedical and bioengineering users to directly export high-quality meshes of 3D MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (computed tomography) and MicroCT (microcomputed tomography) scan data created with +ScanFE to Comsol Multiphysics 3.4 for modelling and simulation without requiring re-meshing or pre-processing.
"We are striving to provide best-in-class software solutions for all design, simulation and product development needs", said Philippe Young, MD of Simpleware.
"The partnership with Comsol will further enhance our position as the leading provider of tools for the conversion of 3D images to simulation models".
A key component of Simpleware's ScanIP suite of image-processing solutions, +ScanFE provides a suite of algorithms and a robust toolset for converting segmented 3D image data into multi-part volumetric models.
+ScanFE generates high-quality volume and surface meshes, contact surfaces and material properties from the segmented data, all of which can now be directly exported to Comsol Multiphysics.
Simpleware's new Export to Comsol Multiphysics functionality is a simple two-step operation.
First, ScanIP segments the regions of interest from the scan data and then +ScanFE generates an input file for Comsol Multiphysics.
Once a file is imported can be used Comsol to model, simulate and to design biomedical applications such as hip joint replacements, vascular therapy and drug delivery.
"The ability to create multiphysics models from MRI data is something that many of our biomed and bioengineering users have demanded", said Ed Fontes, VP of Applications at Comsol.
"This new co-operation with Simpleware places Comsol Multiphysics on the leading edge of biomedical and bioengineering modelling, design and simulation".
The combination of Simpleware's +ScanFE and Comsol provides users across the biomechanics and materials science disciplines with an indispensable tool.
The partnership provides the ability to create meshes from 3D scan data, such as MRI, CT and MicroCT and directly make them available for true multiphysics simulations without intermediate steps such as re-meshing and pre-processing.
Users can integrate CAD and image data interactively and then automatically mesh the resulting combined model.
Users can insert implants and blood stents into the original scan data and then run simulations involving complex interactions between implant, tissue and blood.
The system allows users to reconstruct and mesh separate parts yielding perfectly conforming interfaces (no gaps or overlaps).
