  This paper describes a method of making mesh models for large-scale full-wave analysis of electromagnetic fields by the finite element method with an iterative domain decomposition method using numerical human body models. Numerical human body models by National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) composed by the voxel data with all sides of 2mm include skins, blood vessels, bones etc. and internal organs distinguishing with the material flag. The user can evaluate electromagnetic filed distribution inside the body using NICT numerical human models. A stationary vector wave equation for the 3D full-wave electromagnetic field analysis is solved taking an electric field as an unknown function. The mesh is efficiently divided by using the domain decomposition data structure when elements of 200 million or more are generated from the voxel data of NICT numerical human body models. The mesh generation method corresponds to a past 32-bit I/O library in the ADVENTURE System. Numerical analyses are done using torso models and whole body models. The results prove that our method can precisely predict the distribution of the electromagnetic field in human bodies inside.
