ASC Investments—Visualization: VisIt

VisIt visualization of blast wave

VisIt visualization software, developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, simulates a 3-D blast wave interacting with a perturbed density interface separating a dense and light gas. VisIt was designed to be a parallel visualization and analysis tool. It is extensible through the use of plug-ins, supports a sophisticated execution model that allows it to make optimizations tailored to the data and operations being performed, provides a rich data model, provides sophisticated parallel rendering capabilities, and has the ability to visualize data directly from a running simulation code.
