CompuCell is an open source software modeling environment and pde solver. It is largely used for cellular modeling (foams, tissues, etc.), however, efforts are being made to include fluid simulation capabilities. Created in collaboration between groups at IU and Notre Dame, CompuCell provides an easy user interface for complex cellular modeling.

Known Issues and Requirements

  • Python 2.5
  • Ubuntu users must install python-qt4
  • ———

  • Python and MAC OSX

    Python comes pre-installed on Mac OS X, but due to Apple’s release cycle, it’s often one or even two years old. The overwhelming recommendation of the « MacPython » community is to upgrade your Python by downloading and installing a newer version from the Python standard release page.

    If you are using Mac OS X 10.5, see the Leopard wiki page for detailed information.

    If you’re just curious…

    You don’t have to download anything. You can run a Python interpreter by double-clicking on Applications / Utilities / Terminal (here’s a picture), then typing « python » into the window that opens up.

    You’ll see a prompt that looks like this:

    Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

    (On Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), it will say « Python 2.3.0 », an older version.)Try typing « 2 + 2 » and hit « Enter »:

    >>> 2 + 2
4
>>>

    You’ve just evaluated your first Python expression. It’s a simple environment, but good enough to work through the Python tutorial.By the way, if you download the recommended upgrade mentioned at the top of this page, the « IDLE » development environment will make working through the tutorial a bit easier.

    This package allows to solve second order elliptic differential equations in two variables:

    div(a*grad u) – b*u = f in the domain domain u = gD Dirichlet boundary conditions on first part of boundary a*du/dn = gN Neumann condition on the other part of the boundary

    If the functions a, b f, gD and gN are given, then a numerical approximation is computed, using the method of finite elements. To generate meshes the programm EasyMesh can be used.

    a starting point for building 3D surface meshes or true volumetric tetrahedral grids

    « nanosecond history »:

    __________1987

    Since William Lorensen and Harvey Cline’s publication of Marching Cubes: A High
    Resolution 3D Surface Construction Algorithm in 1987 Marching Cubes has become the
    defining algorithm for the creation of 3D surface meshes.

    Yet despite the success of Marching Cubes the resulting mesh exhibits several weaknesses, including aliasing and terracing artifacts, less-than-optimal triangle quality, and large numbers of triangles.  A
    multitude of techniques have been introduced to address these issues, including surface
    smoothing and triangle decimation algorithms. Beyond reducing artifacts, smoothing
    improves the effectiveness of triangle decimation algorithms and reduces errors during
    finite element analysis. However, many smoothing techniques fail to eliminate terracing
    because their local filter neighborhood does not encompass the width of the terrace.
    Additionally, smoothing a mesh without consideration of the original data may smooth
    away crucial fine details as well as mesh generation artifacts.

    ___________1998

    In 1998 Sarah F. F. Gibson published Constrained Elastic Surface Nets: Generating
    Smooth Surfaces from Binary Segmented Data. Her work attempts to preserve the fine
    detail present in the original data by applying smoothing directly to the binary data and
    introduces the concept of a constraint to limit the deviation of the smoothed data from the
    original.     Modified SurfaceNets attempts to apply Gibson’s SurfaceNet technique to the
    problem of smoothing a Marching Cubes mesh. By defining SurfaceNet nodes on the
    Marching Cubes mesh and constraining their movement to their Voronoi regions,
    Modified SurfaceNets aims to reduce terracing while preserving the fine detail of the
    original image.

    This class of Surface Reconstruction methods is OK for immerged SURFACE and only for SURFACE.

    If you want to generate not only surface models from your data but also to create true
    volumetric tetrahedral grids suitable for advanced 3D finite-element simulations, then open your mind… Usually, these grids are constructed using a flexible advancing-front algorithm. Again, special care is taken to obtain meshes of high quality, i.e., tetrahedra with bad aspect ratio are avoided…

    comsol finite element CAD import module

    Published 27 mai 2008 format-fichiers , maillage-FEM-BEM , solveur-FEM , traitement d'image Leave a Comment

    Getting your CAD geometries ready for FEA modeling is easier than ever with the CAD Import Module. It facilitates the reading of industry-standard formats such as STEP, IGES, ACIS® (SAT®) or Parasolid®. Extra add-ons support file formats for packages that have their own geometry kernel.

    The CAD Import Module goes beyond just the reading of file formats. The interactive repair feature assures that imported geometries are mathematically correct for FEA modeling. And, in order to cut down on unnecessary details in your CAD geometries, defeaturing tools that remove fillets, small faces, sliver faces, as well as spikes or short edges are included.

    The CAD Import Module also provides a bidirectional interface to SolidWorks® that maintains associativity with the CAD system. This means that parameters can be changed in COMSOL models, which result in automatically updating the CAD geometry in SolidWorks that then updates the COMSOL geometry for a new model.

    File formats supported by COMSOL products

    Product File format (file extensions) Supported versions
    COMSOL Multiphysics STL (.stl)
    VRML (.wrl, .wml) 1.0

    MeshLab

    Published 23 mai 2008 format-fichiers , freeware , maillage-FEM-BEM , outils4programmation , solveur-FEM Leave a Comment

    MeshLab is an open source, portable, and extensible system for the processing and editing of unstructured 3D triangular meshes.

    ——

    http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

    ——

    The system is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind of meshes.

    The system is heavily based on the VCG library developed at the Visual Computing Lab of ISTI – CNR, for all the core mesh processing tasks and it is available for Windows, Linux (src) and MacOSX (intel only).

    The MeshLab system started in late 2005 as a part of the FGT course of the Computer Science department of University of Pisa and most of the code (~15k lines) of the first versions was written by a handful of willing students. The following years FGT students have continued to work to this project implementing more and more features. The proud MeshLab developers are listed below.
    This project have been supported by the European Networks of Excellence Epoch and (partially) by Aim@Shape

    Remember that, whenever you use MeshLab in a official/commercial project or in any kind of research, you should:

    • Explicitly cite in your work that you have used MeshLab, a tool developed with the support of the Epoch NOE,
    • Post a couple of lines in the users’ forum describing the project where MeshLab was used.

    Adopted License, acknowlegments and other legal issues are detailed here.

    Features

    • Interactive selection and deletion of portion of the mesh. Even for large models.
    • Painting interface for selecting, smoothing and coloring meshes.
    • Input/output in many formats:
      • import:PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS, COLLADA, PTX
      • export:PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS, COLLADA, VRML, DXF
      • Point Clouds support. Now 3D files that are composed only by points are well supported in PLY and OBJ format.
      • U3D support; MeshLab is the first open source tool to provide direct conversion of 3D meshes into the U3D format. Now you can create pdf, like this with 3D objects with just MeshLab and LaTeX.
    • Mesh Cleaning Filters:
      • removal of duplicated, unreferenced vertices, null faces
      • removal of small isolated components
      • coherent normal unification and flipping
      • erasing of non manifold faces
      • automatic filling of holes
    • Remeshing filters:
      • High quality edge collapse simplification (even with texture coords preservation)
      • Surface reconstruction from points (a ball pivoting variant)
      • Subdivision surfaces (loop and butterfly)
      • Feature preserving smoothing and fairing filters
    • Various Colorization/Inspection filters
      • Gaussian and mean curvature
      • Border edges, geodesic distance, from borders
      • Non two-manifold edges and vertices
      • Self intersecting faces
      • Ambient Occlusion. An ambient occlusion field can be computed and stored per vertex
    • Interactive Mesh Painting
      • Color Painting
      • Selection paint
      • Smoothing
    • Measuring tool. You can take linear measures between points of the displayed meshes
    • Slicing tool. A new tool that allows to export planar sections of a mesh in SVG format
    • 3D Scanning tools
      • Alignment ICP based range map alignment tool, for putting meshes into the same reference space.
      • Merging of multiple meshes the Poisson surface reconstruction source code (kindly provided by by Michael Kazhdan and Matthew Bolitho) have been included in.
    • OpenGL Shader based rendering (write your own shader!) compatible with Typhoon Lab’s Shader Designer
    • Large rendering (up to 16k x 16k) for high quality printing
    • The history of the all performed cleaning/editing actions can be re-played on different meshes or saved and for archival purposes.
    • Extendible plugins based architecture, writing new mesh processing functions, colorization filters and support for different file formats is quite easy! Look at PlugIn Samples

    ———-openSource

    MeshLab is an open source Windows and Linux application for visualizing, processing and converting three dimensional meshes to or from the STL file format.

    MeshLab Homepage

    MeshLab, started in late 2005, is a free and open-source general-purpose mesh processing software program; the system is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models that arise in the pipeline of processing of the data coming from 3D scanning. MeshLab is oriented to the management and processing of unstructured large meshes and provides a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting these kinds of meshes.

    The automatic mesh cleaning filters includes removal of duplicated, unreferenced vertices, non manifold edges and null faces. Remeshing tools support high quality simplification based on quadric error measure, various kinds of subdivision surfaces and two surface reconstruction algorithms from point clouds based on the ball pivoting technique and on the Poisson surface reconstruction approach. For the removal of noise, usually present in acquired surfaces, MeshLab supports various kinds of smoothing filters and tools for curvature analysis and visualization.

    MeshLab also includes an interactive direct paint-on-mesh system that allows to interactively change the color of a mesh, to define selections and to directly smooth out noise and small features.

    Version 1.1.0 also includes a tool for the registration of multiple range maps based on the Iterative Closest Point algorithm.

    MeshLab is available for most platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X intel only. The system support input/output in the following formats: PLY, STL, OFF, OBJ, 3DS and COLLADA.
