RESUMO

The growing increase in computational resources for numerical simulation allows researchers and engineers to generate huge amount of data. The understanding of those data through the use of computer graphics techniques is known as Scientific Visualization. This work proposes a Scientific Visualization of engineering problems through the use of a distributed architecture via Web. The simulated data are obtained directly from a data base and the appropriate information is generated to their visualization.Pre-processing data (such as nodes, elements, lines, areas etc) and posprocessing data (such as deformation, stress and strain, from a finite element analysis) are generated. A distributed architecture is considered which allows the numerical simulation to be done in a main computer (server) and the visualization to take place in another computer (client), by using a simple, but robust, interface, as is the Web. It is being used the VRML which provides a natural data distribution and sharing. Results obtained with the Ansys software, a case study for a finite element analysis, have proven to be satisfactory and allowing for easy manipulation when compared with the results visualized through the mentioned software. The proposed architecture can be extended to cope with other solid mechanics software.
