Abstract
The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is presented to be suited for the visualization of 3-D results of electromagnetic field simulations, here performed with the CAE program MAFIA. Based on shape primitives, it allows the modeling of transparent materials and arbitrary object coloration. Its object oriented approach allows the combination of contour and arrow plots with ease. The VRML interpolator mechanism is used to include animated arr ow plots and moving charged particles.
