Creation of FE Model
After creating 3D models in MIMICS, surface mesh is generated as shown in
Fig. 3 ; for femur bone models for further FEA. FEA remeshing is a tool in
MIMICS that allows us to create surface mesh of 3D models. In automatic
remeshed operation, surface mesh of equilateral triangle is generated. All
parameters are optimized here by optimize-based method using the ratio of the
height of the triangle and the length of its base with quality parameter value above
the maximum threshold of 0.3. The various other actions performed in FEA
remeshing are:
• Triangle reduction of models normally.
• Improving qualities of the triangles.
• Triangle reduction of models preserving quality.
