TheFinite ElementMethod is a well-known technique, being extensively applied in different areas. Studies using the Finite Element\r\nMethod (FEM) are targeted to improve cardiac ablation procedures. For such simulations, the finite elementmeshes should consider\r\nthe size and histological features of the target structures.However, it is possible to verify that some methods or tools used to generate\r\nmeshes of human body structures are still limited, due to nondetailed models, nontrivial preprocessing, or mainly limitation in the\r\nuse condition. In this paper, alternatives are demonstrated to solid modeling and automatic generation of highly refined tetrahedral\r\nmeshes, with quality compatible with other studies focused on mesh generation.The innovations presented here are strategies to\r\nintegrate Open Source Software (OSS). The chosen techniques and strategies are presented and discussed, considering cardiac\r\nstructures as a first application context.
