Lectures

Visualisierung wissenschaftlich-technischer Daten

This year the lecture will be held as a block lecture in the last week of January or first week in February. If you are interested in this lecture, you can send me your desired date via email, no later than end of November. The actual date will be announced later here on this webpage.

This Semester, we are offering two labs (Hauptfach- bzw. APMB Praktika):

• Visualization of numerical simulation results with COVISE
  13.1.2009
• Modelling with 3D Studio Max for VR-Environments
  14.1.2009

Both labs are taking place at the HLRS, Nobelstraße 19, Tel.: 87251.
They are starting at 13:30
