Abstract: A finite element (FE) model of an anatomical structure is generated based on a fitted model of the anatomical structure and association data. A segmentation model is provided for segmenting the anatomical structure. Association data is obtained which associates a segmentation model part of the segmentation model with a mesh property. The segmentation model part represents a pre-determined anatomical region of interest. The segmentation model is applied to a medical image of a subject, thereby obtaining the fitted model for segmenting the anatomical structure. The finite element model is generated based on the fitted model and the association data, by meshing a finite element model part of the finite element model corresponding with the pre-determined anatomical region of interest in accordance with the mesh property. Advantageously, this results in an efficient generation of the FE model needing fewer manual iterations and/or alterations in the model or in the mesh.
