Abstract EN
The Finite Element Method is a well-known technique, being extensively applied in different areas.
Studies using the Finite Element Method (FEM) are targeted to improve cardiac ablation procedures.
For such simulations, the finite element meshes should consider the size and histological features of the target structures.
However, it is possible to verify that some methods or tools used to generate meshes of human body structures are still limited, due to nondetailed models, nontrivial preprocessing, or mainly limitation in the use condition.
In this paper, alternatives are demonstrated to solid modeling and automatic generation of highly refined tetrahedral meshes, with quality compatible with other studies focused on mesh generation.
The innovations presented here are strategies to integrate Open Source Software (OSS).
The chosen techniques and strategies are presented and discussed, considering cardiac structures as a first application context.
