Getting python

This project requires python. Mac's and many Linux boxes have python preinstalled. If you need to install python on your system, you can obtain it at http://www.python.org/download/

Checking out the Code

svn co https://code.sci.utah.edu/svn/SCIRun/cibc/trunk/SCIRun

Building the Code

cd SCIRun

./build.sh --with-meshing-pipeline

Using the Code

From your SCIRun directory, you can run

src/StandAlone/Apps/FEMesher/scripts/BuildMesh.py --help

will print the usage information.

An example

Example model files have been placed here. For each model, download the NRRD and model_config files onto your system. Edit the model_config.py, changing the top 2 lines to point to full path to the NRRD on your system and the full path to a directory where the mesher can place its output.

To run the mesher:

[path to your SCIRun directory]/src/StandAlone/Apps/FEMesher/scripts/BuildMesh.py [path to your SCIRun directory]/bin/FEMesher/mesher_config.py [path to your model]/model_config.py

Note: The build.sh script above makes an effort to set up the mesher_config.py for you. However, you might wish to check that the values in mesher_config.py above are appropriate for your system.
