Abstract

Current methods of analyzing multiple design configurations can be labor intensive and typically require engineers to make relatively indirect comparisons between structural models. This paper presents an approach designed to support convenient management and analysis of multiple design configurations, and to provide a high degree of spatial and temporal congruence for model visualization, thereby allowing more direct comparisons to be made. This ultimately can allow for a more thorough evaluation of design alternatives, while decreasing the workload needed to perform these analyses.
