The mouse buttons also includes an interactive menu that facilitates the selection between the different object movements. In this project, Mr. Matheis was helped by Drs. Andrew Johnson and Shahrouz Aliabadi, at that time both research associates supervised by Tezduyar. After presenting the original object this project is focused on the visualization of large data sets of flow variables such as pressure , temperature , and velocity . This colormap file is specified by the user.
Color varies between blue and red.
To display the flow data the 256 colors of the colormap are distributed among the values of the flow variables. During this process one color is assigned to each of the nodes of the object. The result of this operation is demostrated in Figure 2. In order to display the flow data among the object a series of parameters have to be selected. The program displays the minimum and maximum values for each of the flow variables.
