Visualization PSE for Multi-Physics Analysis by Using OpenGL API Fusion Technique

Abstract

PSE has become increasingly important as the computer environment has become ever more complex. In addition, the development of multi-physics calculations has complicated software systems, and an environment in which multi-simulation codes can be integrated has also become important in the software business. Because of this, we here propose a visualization PSE for multi-physics simulation. We are not proposing a new visualization tool for it, but an integration environment to merge the outputs of two or more existing visualization software visually. We developed a prototype which merges multi-outputs from any OpenGL programs without recompiling or re-linking by using the GLR (GL-DLL replacement) technique. And the performance characteristics of the system were examined
