The paper presents a simple 3D finite element mesh morpher aimed at creation of patient-specific models of human body parts. These models are to be used in realistic simulation of magneto- and electrotherapeutic treatment. The presented morpher uses simple algorithm of guided stretching which needs only a few measurements of patients body, but it may deform some finite elements. A public domain code Stellar is used to fix these problems.
