Abstract

Nowadays, the postprocessing and visualization of finite element solutions is performed by means of static a posteriori methods. This means that a dynamic interactive exploration of 3D solution data is only possible in a very limited way. In this paper, an interactive postprocessing approach is introduced, allowing for a dynamic interaction with finite element solutions, a simplified mesh cutting and data exploring as well as new ways of exploring complex solutions.
