tool provides the capacity to split the segmentation into separate masks. Calculate
3D from mask tool converts the 2D images into 3D models using an interpolation
algorithm embedded in MIMICS as shown in Fig. 3 .

Creation of FE Model

After creating 3D models in MIMICS, surface mesh is generated as shown in Fig. 4 ,
for femur bone models and for further finite element analysis (FEA). FEA remeshing
is a tool in MIMICS that allows us to create surface mesh of 3D models. In automatic
