This file contains models and simulation results from the creation of parametric solid models of the at-term uterus. These parametric solid models are based on measurements collected from MRI and MRI segmented solid models of five pregnant patients at 38-39 weeks gestation. The measurements were then used to create three parametric models for each patient: elliptical, averaged, and multi-measure. Each parametric model was compared to the corresponding MRI segmented model visually and through finite element analysis.

The Solid and Finite Element Models folder is organized by file type. The folder named “Full Solid Models” contains STL files of all five patients generated using each modeling method (MRI segmented, elliptical, averaged, and multi-measure). The folder named “Mesh Half Solid Models” contains STL files with the mesh used in finite element analysis for all five patients generated using each modeling method. The folder named “FEBio files” contains the .feb code for conducting a finite element simulation in FEBio for all five patients generated using each modeling method. The folder named “Postview Files” contains the results generated from the corresponding FEBio file.
