“…Recently, deformation simulation has been conducted by several researchers [20][21][22]. Some of the studies use artificial neural network (ANN) and other approximation methods [23] to achieve real-time solutions. Interaction methods have been studied to utilize the simulation results provided in a VR environment so as to improve the efficiency of the analysis [24] and the design process [25].…”

Augmented reality (AR) has recently become a worldwide research topic. AR technology renders intuitive computer-generated contents on users' physical surroundings. To improve process efficiency and productivity, researchers and developers have paid increasing attention to AR applications in engineering analysis and simulation. The integration of AR with numerical simulation, such as the finite element method, provides a cognitive and scientific way for users to analyze practical problems. By incorporating scientific visualization technologies, an AR-based system superimposes engineering analysis and simulation results directly on real-world objects. Engineering analysis and simulation involving diverse types of data are normally processed using specific computer software. Correct and effective visualization of these data using an AR platform can reduce the misinterpretation in spatial and logical aspects. Moreover, tracking performance of the AR platforms in engineering analysis and simulation is crucial as it influences the overall user experience. The operating environment of the AR platforms requires robust tracking performance to deliver stable and accurate information to the users. In addition, over the past several decades, AR has undergone a transition from desktop to mobile computing. The portability and propagation of mobile platforms has provided engineers with convenient access to relevant information in situ. However, on-site working environment imposes constraints on the development of mobile AR-based systems. This paper aims to provide a systematic overview of AR in engineering analysis and simulation. The visualization, tracking techniques as well as the implementation on mobile platforms are discussed. Each technique is analyzed with respect to its pros and cons, as well its suitability to particular types of applications.

“…4.3.2 Analysis. In the same vein as geometric CAD design, virtual reality has the potential to make 3D analysis easier to perform and the results easier to understand, especially for nonanalysts [156]. By making the geometry easier to understand, VR can facilitate preprocessing steps that require spatial reasoning, such as mesh repair and refinement.…”

In the past few years, there have been some significant advances in consumer virtual reality (VR) devices. Devices such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Leap Motion™ Controller, and Microsoft Kinect® are bringing immersive VR experiences into the homes of consumers with much lower cost and space requirements than previous generations of VR hardware. These new devices are also lowering the barrier to entry for VR engineering applications. Past research has suggested that there are significant opportunities for using VR during design tasks to improve results and reduce development time. This work reviews the latest generation of VR hardware and reviews research studying VR in the design process. Additionally, this work extracts the major themes from the reviews and discusses how the latest technology and research may affect the engineering design process. We conclude that these new devices have the potential to significantly improve portions of the design process.

“…In contrast, interactive FEA applications are more efficient and immersive. Connell and Tullberg [9] presented a framework for the integration of FEA simulation and visualization within VR. To achieve real-time response for changes on loading patterns, an approximation module is established to generate simplified results efficiently before accurate results are available.…”
