Abstract

Computer graphics and visualization play a central role in software tools for Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) and scientific research. As capabilities of low-cost workstations are enhanced both through price/performance breakthroughs and distributed computing, more sophisticated interactive techniques become locally available to a wider range of users.This paper explores some of the primary challenges that face designers of hardware and software for visualization who are attempting to create tools that will be used and widely accepted. Possible solutions to some of these challenges have been incorporated into FIELDVIEW, a commercial tool for increasing engineering productivity in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
