In the manufacturing industries, viewing CAE analysis results is frequently required during the product development process for design verification. CAE data which include all related information of an analysis is, however, not efficiently shared among designers because CAE data size is in general large to deal with. In order to increase collaboration among designers this paper introduces the development of a CAE visualization system based on JT format exploiting for a large model visualization with a scene graph-based toolkit. Since CAE analysis results and JT format have different structure we developed a translator to convert the CAE result in binary format to the JT format. To show the effectiveness of JT format in showing the CAE result we also developed a prototype viewer offering basic functions provided by commercial systems. By using JT format we are able not only to reduce the size of analysis results, but to store a series of analysis results with several LOD in a data file.

In shipbuilding, 2D manufacturing drawings are crucial for building a ship. Even various types of 3D models are being utilized for supporting ship manufacturing, which does not reduce the importance of 2D drawings. Recently things are changing in the shipbuilding industry. To reduce the number of 2D drawings or to reduce the quantity of information contained in 2D drawings, some attempts that can substitute for 2D drawings are being made. One of the attempts is to visualize lightweight 3D manufacturing models in a mobile device. In this paper, a method for displaying lightweight 3D models of a ship in an Android based device is introduced. To overcome the problem with parsing JT files in Android system, JT files are parsed in a Windows based server and as-simple-as-possible visualization data are transmitted to an Android based viewer. A comparison result with a commercial system is also given.
