Abstract :
Bio-medical applications often employ geometrically complex models of apparatus and human beings. Thus only methods with capabilities for extremely high spatial resolution are adequate for a proper analysis. The large system size is often coupled to thermal analysis. On top of theses algorithmic challenges, human models are typically not available in the required position and thus a transformation method has to be employed in order to create e.g. a sitting body from a standing one.
