Claim Text:
1. A visualization apparatus comprising: a processor configured to visualize a visualization range of a three-dimensional model, based on physical values of a plurality of regions of the model, wherein the processor performs a visualization process including wherein the designating designates, as the coloring range, a range that connects inflection points where a second order differential of the physical values of the plurality of regions of the model projected onto the visualization plane becomes zero, wherein the defining defines the color map based on features or positions of an inflection point curve connecting the inflection points, and wherein the rendering includes applying the color map to vector data representing features or positions of the physical values on the visualization plane, in order to display a plurality of vectors respectively having a length from a starting position and projected onto the visualization plane, with respect to the plurality of regions of the model corresponding to the visualization range.
