Create Head Tetrahedral Grid#
Overview#
This module creates a computational grid of a head containing brain volume (tetrahedral) elements and skull surface (triangle) elements from a brain surface model, and saves it as a ‘.inp’ mesh file. Gmsh is used internally to generate the grid.
Panels and their use#
Inputs#
Input brain surface: Brain surface model that will be used to create the grid.
Outputs#
Model .inp file: Grid file in
.inp
format that contains the nodal coordinates, brain volume tetrahedral elements and element set (ELSET=brain
), skull surface shell elements and element set (ELSET=skull
), and node set of brain nodes in contact with the skull (NSET=contact
).
