INTERACTIVE SYSTEM AND METHOD PROVIDING REAL-TIME VIRTUAL REALITY VISUALIZATION OF SIMULATION DATA

摘要

A method for providing an immersive VR experience comprises defining in the computer memory, a model representing a three-dimensional model. The method further comprises producing field data based upon a simulation of the three-dimensional model. Additionally, the method comprises storing the field data within a data structure. The method also comprises extracting, for display, a surface of the three-dimensional model from a simulation model. The method additionally comprises creating a surface texture for the surface of the three-dimensional model from the field data. Further, the method comprises creating a query optimized grid from the calculated field data. Further still, the method comprises displaying a visualization of the calculated field data by means of the surface and the query optimized grid.
