FAnToM
From BSV-Website
FAnToM is a visualization system most of our flow visualization research is based on. The system primarily aims at applications from engineering, e.g. fluid mechanics. It implements a pipeline like structure for visualizing data. Each element of the pipeline uses the results of the previous elements. The elements, called data algorithms and visualization algorithms in the system, are implemented as plugins and can be integrated into the system on demand. FAnToM can handle scalar, vector and tensor fields which can be defined on rectilinear, curvilinear or unstructured grids.
