Download a PyAnsys Heart-compatible case from Zenodo

This example shows how to download a Strocchi 2020 or Rodero 2021 case from the Zenodo database.

Note

You can also manually download the CASE or VTK files from the Strocchi 2020 and Rodero 2021 databases. For more information, see:

• A Publicly Available Virtual Cohort of Four-chamber Heart Meshes for Cardiac Electro-mechanics Simulations

• Virtual cohort of adult healthy four-chamber heart meshes from CT images

Alternatively you can make use of the download module instead. See the example below.

# Perform the required imports
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Import the required modules and set relevant paths, including that of the working
# directory and generated model.

from pathlib import Path

from ansys.health.heart.utils.download import download_case_from_zenodo, unpack_case

# Download the tar file of Rodero2021 from the Zenodo database.
download_dir = Path.home() / "pyansys-heart" / "downloads"
tar_file = download_case_from_zenodo("Rodero2021", 1, download_dir, overwrite=True)

# Unpack the tar file and get the path to the input .vtk/.case file.
path = unpack_case(tar_file)

print(path)
