Mesh Option

The Mesh Option offers advanced features for scientists working with complex surface analysis, volume reconstruction using tetrahedral grids, vector field visualization, and complex tensor computation. This package is designed especially for Finite Element Modeling (FEM), for computational analysis of 3D regular fields, brain science, and 3D fluid dynamics simulations.

Platforms
Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, Mac OS, Linux

Features


Analyze and Evaluate Gridsmesh1

After loading your CT or MRI data, mesh the volume with an optimized 3D
grid, assign material properties and boundary conditions. Export the result to an
external FEM application to perform simulations and import the output back into
Amira to visualize it.

  • Tetrahedral and hexahedral grid visualization
  • Tetrahedral grid generation
  • Grid analysis and refinement
  • Grid parameterization
  • Conversion from Tetra to Hexa grids and vice versa
  • Boundary condition visualization
  • Tensor computation
  • Tensor visualization
  • Out-of-core tensor computation

 

 



Analyze and Visualize Vector Fieldsmesh2

With applications in fluid dynamics, biomechanics, molecular simulation, and
biomedicine, Amira´s vector field visualization offers high performance and
quality in representing simulation outputs or experimental 3D data sets.

  • Standard vector visualization
  • Planar and Surface LIC (line integral convolution)
  • Animated illuminated streamline visualization
  • Animated cone plot visualization
  • Ribbon visualization
  • Stream surface
  • ROI selection
  • Vector probe
  • Tetrahedral vector grid
