Starting the PGEM Tool

The PGEM tool is started with the Anatomy button from the PMOD Toolbox:

ButtonPGEMStart

The user interface of PGEM consists of four pages which can be selected by tabs:

  1. Load Images page: This page is only available when using PMOD databases.
  2. Models page: Page for model definition, exploration and settings definition for simulation and/or CFD modeling.
  3. Images page: Visualization page for the source images (in the same space) and/or 4D flow maps. This page supports the definition of the models.
  4. 3D page: Page for interactively exploring the segments of the model and for visualizing the CFD and Flow map in 3D.
