Abstract

This study aims for considerations of structural response and behavior under the possible loading of human ankle. Due to its geometrical complexity, there is a difficulty making drawings of anatomical structure like industrial products. Therefore, at executing structural analysis covers biological object, the representations of anatomical geometries are usually based on digital image such as MRI and CT. This report describes the method to generate the finite element model with smoothened surface automatically from voxel data, frequently used as a shape representation of three dimensional digital medical image obtained from tomograms, and shows finite element model of human ankle generated by the program implements this method.
