Abstract

Presents a highly interactive and responsive method for visualization of time-varying aspects of eddy currents and magnetic flux density distributions in a 3-D alternating steady field. This method provides the following benefits. An observation tool provides a variety of display methods, with highly interactive control of viewpoint and view reference point, allowing the observer to `enter´ the space. Stereo viewing and animation provide an even more vivid grasp of the time-varying aspects of physical phenomena in 3-D space. The relationship and interactions of two physical values are easily visualized
