A perspective on AVS in an engineering sciences environment

Glass, Micheal W.

At Sandia National Laboratories, the Engineering Sciences Center has made a commitment to integrate AVS into our computing environment as the primary tool for scientific visualization. AVS will be used on an everyday basis by a broad spectrum of users ranging from the occasional computer user to AVS module developers. Additionally, AVS will be used to visualize structured grid, unstructured grid, gridless, 1D, 2D, 3D, steady-state, transient, computational, and experimental data. The following is one user's perspective on how AVS meets this task. Several examples of how AVS is currently being utilized will be given along with some future directions.
