Meshing, Visualization, and Computational Environments
ABSTRACT
There was probably no higher profile application of meshing, visualization, and computational software this past year than
that performed in support of the space shuttle’s Return to Flight activities. After heavy use of simulation during the accident
investigation, these same tools are now helping address safety and operational issues. In turn, these applications are raising
the bar for computational tools in terms of simulation fidelity and turnaround time.
