Three-dimensional reconstruction of finite element model of the cervical motion segment according to Chinese Digital Human CT data / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Our team has built finite element dynamic bone models of different parts, but how to ensure the model’s precision and effectiveness, there still needs further study.OBJECTIVE: To provide accurate biomechanics model of Digital Human. METHODS: The CT data of Virtual Chinese Human --the male No.1 (VCH-M1) were imported into the MIMICS13.1 software authorized by the Materialise Company, and then the outcome document was entered into the ABAQUS6.7 software to perform finite element analysis. The result was observed and then the effectiveness of the models was tested. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The “.lis” document was chosen in the finite element analysis software ABAQUS6.7. Three dimension models of cervicalt were acquired. The model has 10 465 panel points and 52 752 units. It is verified that this model is effective. Results confirmed that the biomechanics model of Digital Human can be calculated for meeting the revolutionary requirement of the future digital medical science.
