Conversion of data from the laser scanner to the Ansys Workbench

摘要

This paper deals with the data processing in the form of a cloud of points scanned using a handheld 3D laser scanner. The aim of this paper is to use this data to create a representative FEM model and compare two different approaches while one of them involves creating a CAD model and the other one not. The data processing is carried out in the freeware systems MeshLab and Meshmixer and FEM analysis in the software ANSYS Workbench.
