Abstract
Complicated dynamic processes as occurred in high velocity impact events were studied using numerical approach. A nonlinear transient finite element program was used to model the impact events. The use of supercomputers was required in these simulations due to the size of the problems and the duration of the events. Techniques designed to visualize 3D geometry as well as scientific data were developed to help engineers make sense out of the tremendous amount of data generated by the supercomputers. Resulting animation sequences provided a means for Ithe researchers to study the dynamic failureprocesses and to communicate with others.
