Generic Large Scale 3D Visualization of Accelerators and Beam Lines

We report on a generic 3D visualization system for accelerators and beam lines, in order to visualize and animate huge amount of multidimensional datasets.The phase space data on together with survey information obtained from MAD9P runs, are post-processed and then translated into colored ray-traced POV-Ray movies. We use HPC for the beam dynamic calculation and for the trivially parallel task of ray-tracing a huge number of animation frames.We show various movies of complicated beam lines and acceleration structure, and discuss the potential use of such tools in the design and operation process of future and present accelerators and beam transport systems.
