Rapid Data Visualization Rapid Data Visualization Data visualization techniques developed at the GE Research and Development Center improve product quality and reduce design time and costs. Engineering design applications include fluid flow, combustion, heat transfer, structural analysis, vibration, electromagnetic analysis, and dynamic analysis such as bird strike evaluation. Engine Combustor Design - A jet engine combustor mixes and burns fuel and air to achieve desired temperature and flow patterns. The combustor is a complex engineering design. Plastic Blow Molding - Many manufacturing processes, such as blow molding, involve large deformation and shaping of materials.
Color indicates magnitude of flow density in an engine combustor.
Views of the 3D data can be manipulated interactively. These techniques can be reused or extended for new applica-tions. It also handles a variety of data types, such as structured or un-structured grids and point sets. It uses X Windows and Motif standards and integrates directly with the stan-dard renderers provided by the workstation vendors.
