A 3D scientific visualization system for viewing models composed of polyhedra or other elements having vertices at which analysis results (e.g. temperature or pressure) are defined. The model is viewed either in a cutting plane or as a contour surface in which a given result assumes a specified value. Polygons making up an intersection surface formed by the intersection of the cutting plane or contour surface with the polyhedra forming the model are generated and passed to a polygon processor for rendering and display on a raster-scan device. A series of intersection surfaces are generated for display by varying either the position of the cutting plane along its normal or the value that the …

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 11, 1992 and granted November 10, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 11, 2012.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
