March 21st, 2016:

We are releasing a new version, Bonemat v3.2!


The main improvements are the presence of importers/exporters from and to both Ansys and Abaqus, which are likely the two most used commercial FE packages, and the availability of test data, including a full proximal femur.
Detailed release notes:

  • Importers/Exporters:
    • interface (Importer/Exporter) with Abaqus file format (this is the first fruit of a joint collaboration, with Elise Pegg at University of Bath)
    • Importers/Exporters can handle submodels (components/assemblies)
    • simplified generic mesh format for import/export
    • VRML exporter
    • VTK export supporting mesh rototranslation
  • Documentation (see also download):
    • small test data (10 elements) for debugging purposes
    • large test data (whole proximal femur, fully anonimysed)
  • Core application:
    • New operation to merge meshes
    • Copy and Paste now holds the position of meshes/volumes
  • GUI:
    • New icons for meshes/volumes and Toolbar
    • Icons added on Menu
  • Views:
