VISUALIZING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING DYNAMIC MENU BASED ON SIMULATION DATA

摘要

A visualizing apparatus providing a dynamic menu based on simulation data and a visualizing method using the same are disclosed. The visualizing apparatus providing the dynamic menu based on the simulation data according to the present invention may include: a data conversion part structuralizing the simulation data to generate metadata; a registry storing and managing the simulation data and the metadata; a data calling part searching the registry to load the metadata corresponding to a selection from a user; a data menu providing part dynamically constructing a first menu, where data components of the simulation data are arranged, based on information on the loaded metadata; a function matching part dynamically constructing a second menu where executable visualizing functions are arranged according to attributes of the data components of the first menu selected by the user; and an object generation part applying the visualizing functions to the simulation data, and then generating visualizing objects using a visualizing algorithm. Embodiments of the present invention uses the metadata for the simulation data, thereby selecting only the executable visualizing functions, providing the selected functions to the user, and reducing trial and error involved in visualizing works.
