We interface the head modelling, coil models, Graphical User Interface (GUI), and post-processing capabilities of the SimNIBS package with the boundary element fast multipole method (BEM-FMM), implemented in a MATLAB-based module. The resulting pipeline combines the best of both worlds: the individualized head modelling and ease-of-use of SimNIBS with the numerical accuracy of BEM-FMM. The corresponding TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) modeling package is developed and made available online. It imports a SimNIBS surface segmentation and a coil field, and then exports electric-field values in selected surfaces or volumes. Additional information is also made available, such as discontinuous compartment surface electric fields and associated surface electric charge distributions.
我们将SimNIBS软件包的头部建模、线圈模型、图形用户界面（GUI）和后处理功能与基于MATLAB的模块中实现的边界元快速多极子方法（BEM-FMM）相连接。由此产生的管道结合了两者的优点：SimNIBS的个性化头部建模和易用性以及BEM-FMM的数值精度。开发了相应的经颅磁刺激（TMS）建模软件包并在线提供。它导入SimNIBS表面分割和线圈场，然后输出选定表面或体积中的电场值。还提供了其他信息，例如不连续隔室表面电场和相关的表面电荷分布。
