Integrative Visualisation for Orthogonal Design Performances

复杂设计问题、高维设计空间和分析的可视化往往符合单一的显示模式，最适合研究中的特定问题或性能。例如，计算流体动力学，结构应力和应变，振动预测，声学，空间布局和形状的不同层次的细节，等等。然而，人类的头脑是能够处理大量的信息，在视觉格式和显着的好奇，如果提出不一致/不确定的“松散的结束”。而不是在一个不可避免的单一模式的可视化人类演员，该项目旨在探索如何顺利重叠和可视化模式之间的交替;演示案例提出的是一个流体分配系统，从功能描述，性能模拟/预测，到最终的三维详细设计，通过在调试过程中记录的真实世界的性能结果。其目的是开发一种架构，以方便用户在最合适的可视化模式之间切换或无缝集成，以了解功能，物理和操作的交叉视图。

The visualisation of complex design problems, high - dimensional design spaces and analyses tends to conform to a single mode of display, as best suits the specific question or performance under investigation. For example, computational fluid dynamics, structural stresses and strains, vibration predictions, acoustics, spatial layouts and shapes of different level-of-detail, etc. However the human mind is capable of processing large quantities of information in visual formats and is notably inquisitive if presented with discordant/inconclusive 'loose-ends'. Rather than imprisoning the human actor in an inescapable single mode of visualisation, this project seeks to explore ways to smoothly overlap and alternate between modes of visualisation; the demonstrator case proposed is a fluid distribution system, going from the functional description, to the performance simulation/prediction, to the final 3D detailed design, through to a real-world performance results recorded during commissioning. The aim is to develop an architecture to facilitate the user with a way to either switch between the most appropriate mode of, or have seamlessly integrated, visualisations to understand there intersectional views of functional, physical and operation.
