 N UMERICAL TECHNIQUE FOR FINDING APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS TO BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS  I T STARTS FROM AN INITIAL STATE AND FROM THERE IT CALCULATES OTHER MOMENTS APPLYING A SET OF FORCES AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

 S OFTWARE FOR A NALYSIS USING FEM  S TEPS FOR MODELING : ◦ C REATION OF GEOMETRICAL FIGURES ◦ M ESHING -> VOXEL, TRIANGULATION, TETRAHEDRAL MESHES ◦ A DDITION OF PHYSICS  N OT MANY W ORKING SUITES FOR BIOLOGICAL MODELS  A PPLICATION TO THE M EDICAL F IELD

P RE V IEW O THER MODELLING APPLICATIONS FEB IO P OST V IEW E XPORT TO OTHER FORMATS ( NIKE 3 D, ETC ).

P RE V IEW  M ODEL GENERATION FOR AN ULTERIOR ANALYSIS WITH FEB IO.  P RE V IEW CONSISTS IN A GUI WITH A 3D ENVIRONMENT THAT ALLOWS 3D ITEMS TO BE CREATED FROM BASIC SHAPES.  I N THIS ENVIRONMENT ALL GEOMETRIC ELEMENTS ARE DEFINED AND MODELLED, AS WELL AS GIVEN THEIR MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES SUCH AS BOUNDARY CONDITIONS OR RIGID CONSTRAINTS TO BE PROCESSED WITH FEB IO.

FEB IO  FEB IO IS CONTROLLED THROUGH A CLI  O NLY PERFORMS CALCULATIONS  R EQUIRES HIGH PROCESSING

P OST V IEW  I T USES THE SAME 3D VIEWER AS P RE V IEW  S IMPLE CALCULUS  P LOTTING OF PHYSIC DATA  P LOTTING OF STATISTIC DATA

 W HY IS IT A GOOD SOLUTION ? FEB IO IS A SOLUTION CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR BIOMEDICAL DATA, AND IS A POWERFUL TOOL FOR SOLVING GENERAL P URPOSE FEM.  W HAT ARE ITS HIGHLIGHTS ? FEB IO IS A SOFTWARE THAT IS CAPABLE OF MAKING TRUSTWORTHY REPRESENTATIONS ( MODELS ) OF BIOMEDICAL DATA AND … I T ’ S FREEWARE ! A S MANY FREEWARE SOLUTIONS, IT ’ S BEING DEVELOPED AND IMPROVED EVERYDAY.  I S IT “ COMPLETE ”? FEB IO SUITE INCLUDES THREE PROGRAMS : P RE V IEW, FEB IO AND P OST V IEW. T HIS SOFTWARE IS PREPARED TO WORK AS A WHOLE, AS ONE CAN MODEL, CALCULATE AND INFER RESULTS WITH ONE SINGLE PROGRAM. I T NEEDS AN UPDATE RELATED TO FLUIDS AND MORE TOOLS TO EXTRACT INFORMATION IN P OST V IEW.
