Mesh generation plays an important role in determining the result quality of finite element modeling and structural analysis. Building information modeling provides the geometry and semantic information of a building, which can be utilized to support an efficient mesh generation. In this paper, a method based on BRep entity transformation is proposed to realize the finite element analysis using the geometric model in the IFC standard. The h-p version of the finite element analysis method can effectively deal with the refined expression of the model of bending complex components. By meshing the connection model, it is suggested to adopt the method of scanning to generate hexahedron, which improves the geometric adaptability of the mesh model and the quality and efficiency of mesh generation. Based on the extension and expression of IFC information, the effective finite element structure information is extracted and extended into the IFC standard mode. The information is analyzed, and finally the visualization of finite element analysis in the building model can be realized.

In this study, the change of the natural frequencies in mouse femurs with osteoporosis was investigated based on a vibration test and a finite element. Three groups of the femurs include the osteoporotic group, the treated group and the normal group. In the vibration test, the natural frequencies were measured by the mobility test. For the finite element analysis, the micro finite element model of the femur was reconstructed using the Micro-CT images and the Voxel mesh generation algorithm. From the results, the averaged natural frequencies in the osteoporotic group were the highest, followed by those in the treated group. The finite element models were validated within 15% errors by comparing the natural frequencies in the finite element analysis with those in the vibration test. The developed Micro-CT system, the Voxel mesh generation algorithm, the presented finite element analysis, and vibration test could be useful for the investigation of the structural change of the bone tissue, and the diagnosis and the treatment in the osteoporosis.

A simple yet efficient paradigm for geometric mesh generation using the Visible Human Project Male dataset for further finite element analysis was presented. The minimum distance classifier was used for the discriminant function between the class centers classified by the fuzzy c-means clustering method in the RGB space. Furthermore, based on two major geometric assumptions on the boundary curves, star-shaped polygon and geometric conformity, a points-on-line search technique was devised for efficient computation of the boundary points of the contours for each anatomical component of the human forearm complex. The computed boundary points in each slice were fitted to a closed spline curve and resampled and then refitted for correct alignment with the consecutive boundary curves in order to improve geometric fidelity. By using the refitted contours, a 3-D geometric model of the human radius, ulna, and surrounding soft tissue was generated in a commercial computer–aided design system and exported to a commercial finite element analysis package for meshing with its built-in automatic mesh generator. The proposed method can be applied to geometric mesh generation of other long bones, which allows easy handling, storage, and exchange of the model.
