Abstract :
In this paper, we will walk people through the
steps from creating a 3D model to analyzing the hip joint.
So we browsed a lot of sites for a CT scan of the hip joint
before we zeroed in on the scanned file. Then the scanned
file is converted to a 3D model by the use of Slicer 3D
software. Further, along with the paper, we would have
discussed the difficulties encountered to prepare a solid
model from the 3D model for analysis purposes and how to
overcome it via the use of various software. Software like
Mesh Mixer and Mesh Lab were used to reconstruct the
model before transferring to Solid Works to convert to the
appropriate file type for use in the ANSYS software for
analysis. This is done by first uploading a CT scan of the
hip joint downloaded from the 3D Slicer. The 3D Slicer
software offers three views which help in deciding the
correct part which we particularly want. The CT scan used
contained the pelvis of the body, which can be adjusted to
display the complete hip joint specifically. To start
generating the 3D model, the editor option helps in
highlighting the particular portion of the scan via different
colors which represent different parts- the tissues, bones,
organs, etc- of the body. After this, the 3D model is
generated using the 3D Slicer software and exported to
ANSYS for determining the force distribution over the hip
joint.
