From Laser Scanning to Finite Element Analysis of Complex Buildings by Using a Semi-Automatic Procedure

In this paper, a new semi-automatic procedure to transform three-dimensional point clouds of complex objects to three-dimensional finite element models is presented and validated. The procedure conceives of the point cloud as a stacking of point sections. The complexity of the clouds is arbitrary, s...
