The Application of Visualization in Scientific Computing Technology to Architectural Design

Digital technology is the leading technology in 21st century; it has already penetrated into all fields, and promotes the development of many disciplines. In recent decades, visualization in scientific computing technology can be used in architectural design to transform three-dimensional data into images, and assist architectural design. Its effect is very good In our country, the research and application of visualization technology, no matter in algorithms, or in application, has achieved some encouraging results. In this paper we first introduced the concept of scientific computing visualization, and explained its basic methods and application areas. Then we discussed its application in the architectural design, and analyzed its future development prospects. Reasonable suggestions have been pointed out to promote the effective application of scientific computing visualization technology in architectural design.
