Abstract
The frontier research in computational modeling of human physiology and medical applications is tightly connected to computational meshing technique. Meshes of hard and soft tissues, organs and network-like structures such as vessels network, trachea-bronchial tree and similar ones provide the basis for lots of simulations. We present two applications and associated numerical models requiring personalized anatomically correct meshing of the whole human body or its vascular network.
