Distributed Data Visualization Tools for Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Aero-crafts

A user oriented grid platform for multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of aero-crafts based on web service highly requires to construct a tool for visualization of the computing data and visual steering of the whole process for MDO. In this paper, a distributed data visualization tool for MDO of Aero-crafts is described. And the visual steering scheme for MDO is described in detail, which is constructed under web service environment and is performed as a series of web pages. Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and Java are adopted in visualization service to process the results of MDO of Geometry and the distributed computational data.
