Many topics inengineering curricula rely on visual components to help convey concepts that are difficult todescribe in purely text-based form. Adding animation to visual components only serves toenhance the learning experience even further. Bringing animation to raw data plotted in acolorful three-dimensional graph brings life to otherwise static numerical information.Simulation and animation can be utilized by an instructor to illustrate concepts in a classroomsetting or by students to solve problems in a laboratory setting.The use of animation provides a method to model and
