@jbvimort:

I have a question regarding the extension that you’ve implemented, specifically regarding how the appxorimation of the trabecular region was done. Was it using the plate model? a spherical model? other methods?

I am interested in using the spherical model described in this paper ([https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1365-2818.1997.1340694.x](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1365-2818.1997.1340694.x)) and I am wondering if there is a quick way to adjust the existing module to use this.

Thank you for your time!
