Chapter 9 Applications of Engineering Visualization to Analysis and Design

Larry G. Richards

VISUALIZATION AFFECTS THE process of analysis and design in a number of ways. Applying visualization concepts to issues such as computer aided design, geometric modeling, display of results behavior and simulation gives engineers a greater ability to comprehend their work, and the process of engineering itself. At the same time, the use of visualization must be guided by an engineer's own judgement.

This chapter discusses some of the major applications of visualization in engineering design and analysis, and also explores the issue of visualization in engineering education—both as a tool for learning, and a means for a better understanding of engineering ...
