The following is the readme from the original software. For the changes made by Janna Balling and a description on how to use this software, please see the file in the documentation folder (/doc/bonemat_vJB.html)


README BONEMAT_V2

The directory is structured as follows:

doc/ : it contains a detailed description of the application bonemat_v2.doc
src/ : it contains the source code and the include files
lib/ : it contains the compiled vtk library necessary to run the GUI version of the program

in the main directory there is a compiled version of the program which runs on Windows NT - 4 platforms.

The program is launched via the bonemat.bat file, which should be edited in order to set the proper path of the parameters file. A full description of the input file is given in the document bonemat_v2.doc.

Together with the binary version of the program, a graphical user interface is provided, which helps in the generation of the parameters file. This GUI uses vtk libraries and is lunched via the bonemat_GUI.bat. The libraries necessary to the execution of the GUI are provided with this version of the program, but they are compiled for Windows NT-4. If you want to run the GUI on a different platform, you should properly install vtk on your machine. In the same way you can launch the utilities raw2xx which are explained in the document bonemat_v2.doc.



README BONEMAT_V2.1

Minor modification and bugs fixed:
1) NEGATIVE DENSITIES: when a negative density is encountered, which cause the program to crash, it is set to the value 1e-06.
2) NUMBER OF DECIMAL PLACES IN THE OUTPUT NEUTRAL FILE: has been reduced from 8 to 7, since in some situations Patran crashed (when negative coordinates were present);
3) The modules raw2SP, raw2CT and raw2RG didn't work properly under Windows systems, now they do.
