I want to model and analysis bone in Abaqus. I studied papers and they use "Mimics" software for it; however, I can't access to source of Mimics. I don't find source of this software in the internet. Does anybody has the source of Mimics? or Does anybody has any suggestion about modeling bone with another software? My friends work with 3D-DOCTOR Software too and they have problem with capacity of output file for Abaqus or Ansys. the capacity of output file is big.
Thanks
i used to use mimics and now i'm using avizo.
in mimics i could't change mesh numbers and i used catia to optimize or reduce mesh size, and hypermesh to fix errors and then save as .stl files..
in avizo mesh size can be reduced and smoothed if you want, and imported as stl file or some other formats...
if you want i can model your ct into stl...
Dear Jamaleddin,
I worked with Mimics to clean up my metallic bonelike material from microCT scan images. Mimics software link can be found here. But prior to that, ImageJ software is needed to segment the raw image to black and white. ImageJ is an opensource software and very popular among medical researchers. Click here for the download link. As pointed by Arsalan, you will need another software for meshing process. In my case, I use Sharc Harpoon. This is a versatile software for meshing control. Please drop by to my Google Scholar profile to get some insight.
Cheers,
Ayub

Greetings,
I imported raw DICOM files from CT scans I took of pelvic bones using OsiriX (http://www.osirix-viewer.com/) on a Mac computer for my master's thesis project. The free version of the software allows for the processing of sections of the images (e.g., from 1 to 210 instead of all of the images the DICOM file included) which helped with performance issues since I was working from a lower-end laptop. It's worth a shot if you haven't found anything else that is appropriate.
Hope this helps!
Julia
Greetings!
I just sent you a message in reply to yours, where you mention that you are using Windows and not Mac. I remembered that I inquired about the Mimics software during the preparation stage of my thesis. The website I visited is: http://www.materialise.com. The company has various ways of contacting staff depending on your particular area of interest. I'm pretty sure the software is not free, though.
Good luck with your research,
Julia
You can try with 3D Slicer http://www.slicer.org/
It is open source
Just to follow up on the point above, my company Simpleware's software ScanIP is suitable for this task - please see http://www.simpleware.com/; we also have 30-day free trials available at http://simpleware.com/software/trial/.
hi, i'm looking forward to "avizo" software.please help me to download "avizo"
Hi Mehdi.
You can easily find out how to download by a simple search ;-)
