Abstract

This dataset, developed in the framework of Horizon 2020 HOLAHERIS project, contains the Cloud2FEM software, i.e., an automatic finite element mesh generator based on point clouds of existing/historical structures. Cloud2FEM is based on open-source Python libraries with graphical interface. The point cloud is initially sliced along with the vertical direction. Then, closed polygons are recognized on each slice and stacked vertically thanks to the use of voxels. The voxelized volume is exported into 3D solid hexahedron-based finite element meshes. Suitable graphical tools are developed to help the user adjusting local potential criticalities in the slices, also when partial information is missing in the points cloud.
