Project Synopsis

 

Data Visualization Website

 

The Iowa State Fluids research department has an inconvenient implementation of visualizing various data formats such as STL and OBJ files, OpenFOAM, and other CAD files. Currently, each file they would like to open has to be rerun through the command line prompt where the server is restarted for each file, making switching between multiple files cumbersome. Team 7 is implementing a web widget that will automatically connect to the server when launched and allow the user to select files through the web widget so the user can easily juxtapose different data files as well as utilize all utilities of their current data visualization methods. The utilities include creating color maps, vectors, and Glyphs and being able to rotate the 3D visualization of this data.
