Today, Meghane Decroocq gave a talk entitled “Modeling and hexahedral meshing of arterial networks from centerlines”

Abstract: We present a two-step method to obtain a realistic mesh of vascular tree from only a few centerline points:(1) A parametric model of the vessels relying on physiological parameters is computed.
(2) A mesh with high-quality flow-oriented hexahedral cells is generated from the model. A user-friendly interface was developed to open the use of the proposed methods to non-expert users. It includes many tools to visualize and manually edit vascular trees at the different steps of the meshing pipeline.
