EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report details work undertaken to develop the Next Generation Trident (NGT) skeleton application. The work included an evaluation of alternatives for the graphics and user interface components of the application, from which the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) and Microsoft’s PRISM were chosen, respectively. The technologies were then integrated to form the skeleton NGT application, which demonstrated the layout of the application as well as its performance in loading and visualizing an AVAST model, as well as other stress-test models. Finally, the complete list of features for the NGT was determined and presented as a series of related feature sets which can be used to carry out the remaining phases of the NGT implementation.

The work identified, through user surveys, two main areas of focus – Trident’s graphical rendering capability, and its user interface (UI) framework. The Trident derived code PVAST, contained within the main Trident application, exhibits the same issues and is addressed as part of the Next Generation Trident (NGT) upgrade. In addition, the AVAST UI/front end application, currently independent of Trident, can also significantly benefit via incorporation of the new Trident and PVAST architecture, should it undergo future enhancements to address usability concerns. This task details the design and development of the skeleton framework for the NGT V1.0 application based on informed technology choices from a thorough evaluation of alternatives. This skeleton framework serves as the basis for all subsequent development tasks that will constitute the final NGT V1.0 application. This report also details the design considerations and decisions that underpinned the development of this framework as well as gives an overview of the framework deliverable. Finally, this task defined the scope and extent of the feature set that will be carried from the Current Generation Trident (CGT) to the NGT. These features were chosen based on priority towards yielding a version 1.0 release that provides the most functionality to an end user within a reasonable development timeframe. TR-14-85 Trident Development Framework 2 2.0 THE NGT GRAPHICS ENGINE The graphics engine of the NGT application refers to the subsystem responsible for rendering the finite element model graphically on the screen and allowing the user to interact with it for purposes of pre-processing and post-processing their analysis. The graphics engine chosen for the NGT application is the Visualization Toolkit (VTK, see [2]), an open source, freely available library developed and commercially supported by Kitware Inc. [3]. The various design considerations leading to this choice over the alternatives are given in the following sections. 2.1 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Results of the Trident user survey undertaken in Task 5 of this contract indicated that model rendering and interactivity were the leading concerns for users of the current-generation application. Specifically, the graphics subsystem was slow to render large models, and the lack of dynamic interaction with the model viewport made it more difficult to establish context when navigating the model and isolating features of interest.
