This paper presents automated finite element modeling method and application to abiomechanical study. The modeling method produces a finite element model based on themulti-sliced image data adaptively controlling the element size according to complexity of localbony shape. The method realizes a compact and precise finite element model with a desired totalnumber of nodal points. This paper challenges to apply this method to a human skull because of itsintricate structure. To accomplish the application of the human skull, we analyze characteristics ofbony shape for a mandible and a skull. Using the analytical results, we demonstrate that theproposed modeling method successfully generates a precise finite element model of the skull withfine structures
