Image-based Modelling &
Simulation Trends
• Fast adoption of 3D imaging technology
– Captures external and internal features,
– Industrial and medical settings.
• Driven by the demand for more realistic
simulation
– Expanding capability of FEA/CFD codes,
– Ever increasing access to high specification
hardware,
– Allow the study of true topology, structures and
materials.
• Leading to a growth in image based
inspection and simulation
