Image-based meshing is opening up exciting new possibilities for the application of computational mechanics methods (e.g. FEA and CFD) to problems in biomechanics and bio-fluid dynamics. Converting 3D datasets (such as from CT, MRI and Ultrasound) into high quality meshes is becoming the modus operandi for studying the response of complex biological structures.

Important benefits over competing products are:

• Simpleware software is specifically designed to cope with the most complex geometric and topological data, thus achieving more accurate results.
• Simpleware is the only software that can mesh multiple structures and define contact surfaces between them. Surfaces are perfectly conforming without gaps or overlaps.
• The user has the ability to assign material properties within a given structure based on signal strength, for example bone density based on Hounsfield number.
• The user can import and interactively position CAD models within the image data, e.g. for inserting stents or implants to simulate post-operative performance.
• Simpleware software has an intuitive user interface, which makes it easy to learn and operate.
• Simpleware software is backed by full technical support from experienced engineers.
