“…Therefore, the conclusion is that strategies and tools for integration of open source solid modelers and mesh generators are relevant in the context of FEM applications. For instance, some preliminary approaches were described by Pavarino et al (2013), Pavarino et al (2014) and Neves et al (2015), considering tridimensional elements for applications in medicine. However, in these strategies the computational simulations were not performed with the tetrathedral meshes.…”
