Using ADVENTURE system, a 3-D structural analysis of a very large scale problem can be performed on supercomputers such as the Earth Simulator (ES).However, the data size of the analysis results also becomes huge.We developed an off-line visualizer for visualization of a huge scale 3-D structural analysis on ES.The off-line visualizer performs rendering of surface patch triangles to produce image files of deformation plot and stress contour plot.It is vectorized.The vectorization scheme of its polygon rendering using a look-up table is explained in detail, and its performance evaluation on ES is carried out.It is also demonstrated that a 3-D structural analysis over 200 millions DOFs can be visualized efficiently using our off-line visualizer.
