For flow visualization‚ we use use the GPU for both data decompression and particle advection. More than 1‚000‚000 particles can be visualized at interactive frame rates and data rates. We support the standard particle visualization techniques of pathlines‚ streamlines and streaklines. We also represent particles

It was found that the concrete columns exhibited complicated behaviour‚ and had a squash load point of 342.7KN and moment at 0 KN.m‚ a decompression point of 227.75 KN and moment at 2.92 KN.m‚ a balanced point (nominal) of 58.46 KN and moment at 3.81KN.m‚ a pure bending point of 0 KN and moment at 2.86 KN.m‚ a balanced point (actual) of 42.26KN and moment at 3.86KN.m.
