Numbers of biomechanical applications are making computational FEM modeling of stress and strain (etc.) of human tissues. For these applications it is necessary to have FEM models of the tissues. Because of the tissues geometric complexity, it is often very hard or impossible to prepare the FEM models manually in FEM system. Therefore we have developed computer system for fully automatic FEM models creation from CT/MR data. Many times it is necessary to create very complex models as a group of parts in interactions. For example bone and screw, bone and replacement, group of bones, bone with holes etc. At the situations it is necessary to prepare the FEM models by Boolean operations (union, subtraction and intersection) between geometry of the tissues and of another parts.
