A new interactive visualization system with force feedback device in 3-D electromagnetics

This paper describes an interactive visualization system with force feedback device in three-dimensional (3-D) electromagnetics. We present an extension and improvement of the previously developed two-dimensional (2-D) interactive visualization system used for visualization of various 2-D field distribution maps with arbitrarily movable objects inside the analyzed region. We improve our 2-D visualization system to deal with real 3-D models. Moreover, we knew that perceiving electromagnetic force along with observing various 3-D field distribution maps could significantly help users to better understand the complex electromagnetic phenomenon. Driven by these ideas, we have developed a 3-D interactive visualization system with force feedback device for fast and easy perception of the electromagnetic force and electromagnetic field distribution maps for 3-D models with movable objects.
