Original Oxford Rabbit Biventricular Heart Mesh

Oxford Rabbit Ventricular Model This file contains a tetrahedral finite element mesh representation of the Oxford Rabbit Ventricular Model. Data can be visualised directly with the Meshalyzer software. TYPES OF MESH CONTAINED OxfordRabbit => mesh containing both the intracellular (myocardial) mesh plus the extracellular (bath) mesh. OxfordRabbit_i => mesh containing only the intracellular (myocardial) mesh. (Note that all elements in the extracellular domain have corresponding fibre orientation vectors of [0 0 0].) ELEMENT FILES (*.elem) #Number_of_Elements Element_type Node1_0 Node2_0 Node3_0 Node4_0 Tag ... Element_type Node1_N Node2_N Node3_N Node4_N Tag where Tag specifies the particular region associated with the element: 0 = bath 5 = normal myocardium 6 = papilary muscles/ large trabeculations and where Element_type specifies the type of element (in this case 'Tt' for tetrahedral). NODES FILE (*.pts) #Number_of_Nodes CoordX_0 CoordY_0 CoordZ_0 ... CoordX_N CoordY_N CoordZ_N FIBRE ORIENTATION FILE (*.lon) DirX_0 DirY_0 DirZ_0 ... DirX_N DirY_N DirZ_N SURFACE FILE (*.tris) #Number_of_Surface_Triangles Node1_0 Node2_0 Node3_0 Tag ... Node1_N Node2_N Node3_N Tag where Tag specifies the surface type: 1 = myocardium-bath boundary NB - only available for OxfordRabbit_i mesh. All data acquired by the teams of Prof. David Gavaghan (Computing Laboratory, University of Oxford), Dr Peter Kohl (Department of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics, University of Oxford) and Dr Juergen Schneider (Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, University of Oxford) as part of the BBSRC-funded Oxford 3D Heart Project.
