What finite element systems do you use with Slicer?

Hi -

We are doing large deformation mechanical simulation project that currently uses matlab and comsol and would like to switch to something more Slicer-like (free, python-based, extendable, etc).

What packages have people used and what was your experience?

Thanks in advance!

As I recall, there has been multiple threads about getting data from Slicer into FEBio, which I think is open source.

Is it possible to do a segmentation of the lumbar spine from CT-data and use the 3D model (.igs) for further finite element analysis in ABAQUS or FEBio?

I have never worked with 3D Slicer before and I am quiet new in this field. But I would like create a 3D model out of CT-DICOM-data. It is important that the HU values of the cortical and trabecular bone will be safed in the output (as .igs) for further Finite element analysis in ABAQUS or FEBio. Furthermore I would like to know if it is possible in 3D Slicer to do material assignment and volumetric meshing. I would appreciate any support. Thank you in advance

FEBio

Ah, yes, that’s the one I was trying to remember the name of.

Any other suggestions from the crowd?

We use Code_Aster (uses Python for scripting etc.) as well as FEBio.

FreeFem is another option.
