Phase I

Contract Number: ----------
Start Date: 00/00/00    Completed: 00/00/00
Phase I year
1988
Phase I Amount
$47,600
This project concerns the development of a three- dimensional interactive grid package. The novel aspects include a universal algorithm for generating multiple-zone, structured and unstructured grids and the design of a visually oriented user interface. Visually integrated software produced from this effort would allow generation meshes for CFD projects up to 100 times faster than is now possible. This speedup is comparable to that afforded by the use of next generation computer hardware.Phase I will focus on developing a two-dimensional algorithm and exploring user interface issues associated with the display of three-dimensional manifolds. Phase II of the research will involve extending the two-dimensional algorithm to three-dimensions and integrating it with the user interface. Phase II will also include the development and use of new three-dimensional input devices.

Potential Commercial Applications:
The results of this project could be used in CFD projects.STATUS: Project Proceded to Phase II
