LBIE-Mesher (Level Set Boundary Interior and Exterior Mesher) can extract adaptive and quality 2D (triangular or quadrilateral) meshes over isosurfaces and 3D (tetrahedral or hexahedral) meshes with isosurfaces as boundary surfaces directly from volumetric imaging data. LBIE-Mesher can generate 3D meshes for the volume interior to an isosurface, the volume exterior to an isosurface, or an interval volume between two isosurfaces.

For more pictures, animations, and interactive viz. of macromolecular structures using LBIE Mesher, please visit CVC Gallery.

Features

  • LBIE-Mesher is developed using C++ and QT.
  • Supports volumetric data in rawiv format.

Tutorial We have a tutorial to familiarize you with LBIE-Mesher.
