Many of these packages have not kept up with state-of-the-art developments in graphics technology and visualization techniques. In particular, the large and time-dependent data sets resulting from crash-worthiness simulations in the automotive development process demand new visualization tools. This article demonstrates that careful design of scene graph structures and extensive use of texture mapping can improve rendering performance and visual appearance for postprocessing tasks. Furthermore, a new iconic visualization method improves the understanding of cross-section forces and bending moments in longitudinal structures of the car body.
