Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a method to generate
computational geometric models of natural objects, which are
then discretized for subsequent finite element (FE) analyses.
Various procedures required to achieve this are briefly
described, including: the mathematical representation of an
integrated image acquisition/modelling system, which allows
for the automatic creation of accurate geometric models of
either scanned images of objects or of cloud of points
generally, as well as the mesh generation algorithm
employed. The application of this combined method is then
demonstrated with respect to the modelling human organs
and agricultural objects.
