Physiological systems are inherently complex, involving multi-physics phenomena at a multitude of spatial and temporal scales. To realistically simulate their functions, detailed high quality multi-resolution often patient specific human models are required. We present, evaluate and discuss several methods to generate unstructured body fitted multi-domain adaptive meshes with geometrically and topologically compatible interfaces from the segmented cross-sections of the Virtual Family models for the purpose of large scale whole body simulations.
