[ITK-users] [ITK] FEM based deformable registration

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Tony,

I am not aware of an example of constructing a FEMObject in this way.
We could work on creating one.  Is there an example dataset to work
on?

Thanks,
Matt

Is it possible to let the registration filter construct the object as in deformable registration example 11 for example and then I modify the material properties? Alternatively, is there fairly extensive documentation for using FEMObject somewhere beyond the code browser?
