Models Page

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.

/PGEMCollapse

Collapse/Expand all model nodes.

Save the current selection set to a file.

Load a selection set from a file.

PGEMCharacteristicTextbox

Displays the name of the element selected in the tree.

PGEMCharacteristicsButton

Allows visualizing and modifying the characteristics of the selected model's element in the tree.

Below the properties panel additional functionality button are available

PGEMFusctionalityButtonsModelsPage

offering the following functions:

 

/PGEMCollapse

Hide/show the properties panel to free some space in the user interface. With the panel hidden, the icon changes to PGEMCollapse. When this button is activated, the panel is shown again.

PGEMMovieButtonModelsPage

Allows starting the movie when dynamic models were defined. The text box aside allows defining the movie delay PGEMMOvieDelayTextboxModelsPage.

PGEMStopMovieModelsPage

Allows stopping the movie

PGEMGraphBUttonModelsPage

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.

PGEMMeshPreview

Allows switching on the 3D mesh preview

PGEMBoxModelsPage

If enabled shows the wire-frame box.

PGEMSelectorButtonCharacteristics

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.

PGEMBkgdColorModelsPage

List selection for changing the background color.

PGEMRotating#DMeshModelsPage

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:

PGEMTreeStructureGerarchy

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.
