From Medical Image Data to Simulation‑Ready Models in Minutes

Overview

This workshop demonstrates how Simpleware’s intuitive, easy‑to‑use platform streamlines that workflow — from importing CT/MRI scans to generating high‑quality, simulation‑ready meshes with complete control over segmentation and mesh parameters.

Attendees will learn how Simpleware’s advanced yet accessible image‑processing tools enable rapid segmentation, automated workflows, and high‑fidelity STL and volume mesh outputs suitable for research, development, and analysis at all stages from design to manufacturing. The workshop will also show how these models integrate seamlessly into Ansys environments, allowing users to quickly move from anatomical data to engineering simulation, surgical guide design, or patient‑specific product development.

The session is divided into two clear parts to support different learning styles:

• Part 1 (1 hour): Presentation, live software demo, and guided hands‑on practice — covering the full image‑to‑model workflow using Simpleware, from data import to segmentation, meshing, and export.
• Part 2 (30 minutes): Ask‑the‑Expert office hours — an open Q&A where participants can bring questions, workflows, or challenges and interact directly with Simpleware specialists.

Through demonstrations and optional hands‑on exercises, participants will gain practical experience with an image‑to‑model workflow that emphasizes ease of use, mesh quality, and downstream compatibility — giving engineers, clinicians, and device developers a faster, more reliable path from medical imaging to validated engineering models.
