An interactive visualization system pV3 (parallel Visual3) is being developed for the investigation of advanced computational methodologies employing visualization and parallel processing for the extraction of information contained in large-scale transient engineering simulations. Visual techniques for extracting information from this data in terms of cutting planes, iso-surfaces, particle tracing and vector fields are included in this system. This paper discusses the current design of pV3's software and future applications for visualization in a parallel processing environment. 1 Introduction The computer network is becoming US industry's supercomputer. Computational simulations are being developed today that run on clusters of workstations or parallel computers. The next step is to integrate visualization directly into the simulation to view the results as they are generated. As we approach the 21st Century, the engineering community is witnessing a tremendous growth and availabi...
