of all heart models to compute the minimum required cube dimensions. Afterward, the cube is discretized using a
hexahedral mesh, providing the template node coordinates and their connectivity.
A problem of this method is that the contributions of some dataset surface nodes will not be included. To illustrate
this, consider a 2D scenario where the solution fields of three hearts have been standardized using a 7 7 square grid of
template nodes, as depicted in Fig. 8.19. Due to the unique shape of each heart geometry, some template nodes are not
