An ABAQUS plug-in for the creation of virtual CT scans from 3D finite element bone/implant models.
Developed together with bonemapy, pyvXRAY and BMDanalyse to provide tools for preparation and post-processing of bone/implant computer models.

- ABAQUS >= 6.11 (tested on 6.11, 6.12 and 6.13)
- pydicom >= 0.9.9 (available on github)
For building cython modules from source (e.g. if not using releases with pre-built modules):
- A C compiler. Using ABAQUS Python on Windows requires Microsoft C++. Can use other compilers (i.e. mingw32) if you have a separate Python installation.
- Cython >= 0.17. This is optional, as .cpp files generated by Cython are provided
NOTES:
- ABAQUS is a commerical software package and requires a license from Simulia
- The author of pyvCT is not associated with ABAQUS/Simulia
- Python and numpy are heavily used by pyvCT. These are built in to ABAQUS. All of the last few releases (v6.11 - v6.13) use Python 2.6.x and numpy 1.4.x
