The PGEM module is displaying by default the Heart HR model. This model is available automatically after a typical PMOD installation. The Heart HR model will be used to demonstrate the models applications like phantom simulation and creation of CFD case.
This page is dedicated to the model creation, exploration and settings definition for simulation and/or CFD modeling. The Models window consists of a large display area on the left for previewing the selected elements of the model and a control area on the right.
Convenience Buttons
The task of selecting parts in the model tree is supported by shortcuts in the area at the tree bottom:
Set the selection check for all elements of the model. |
|
Remove the selection check of all selected elements of the model. |
|
/ |
Collapse/Expand all model nodes. |
Save the current selection set to a file. |
|
Load a selection set from a file. |
|
Displays the name of the element selected in the tree. |
|
Allows visualizing and modifying the characteristics of the selected model's element in the tree. |
Below the properties panel additional functionality button are available
offering the following functions:
/ |
Hide/show the properties panel to free some space in the user interface. With the panel hidden, the icon changes to . When this button is activated, the panel is shown again. |
Allows starting the movie when dynamic models were defined. The text box aside allows defining the movie delay . |
|
Allows stopping the movie |
|
Allows activating graph preview. Its activation hides the 3D mesh preview in the view port. The graph will present the hierarchy defined in predecessors - successors part of add to model panel procedure. |
|
Allows switching on the 3D mesh preview |
|
If enabled shows the wire-frame box. |
|
Allows selecting the number of the 3D vertices to be displayed in the view port. The higher the number the less vertices will be shown. |
|
List selection for changing the background color. |
|
Allows rotating 360 degrees the 3D simplified model preview in the view port. |
Tree Structure of the Model
The model structure is organized as a hierarchical tree, as illustrated below:
The single entry in the tree is called Element and corresponds to a VOI in the VOIs list. The Structure Node consists of at least one element. The Group of structures consists of at least one structure node. A model may consist of several groups of structures.
