Dr. Ove Sommer

Topics of Research

• Scientific visualization in the area of crash-worthiness simulations

In cooperation with the BMW Group, Analysis Crash-Worthiness division crashViewer, a Cosmo3D/OpenGL Optimizer based application, has been developed, which is used on the one hand as test implementation for new visualization techniques and on the other hand it is utilized in the productive process.
Here you will find some figures.
• Texture-based volume rendering by utilizing the hardware
