With the improvement in the performance of supercomputers, numerical simulations have become complex and the simulation results have become large-scale. It has made the interpretation of simulation results difficult. Therefore, we propose a spatio-temporal visualization system "spatio-temporal map" for interpreting the time-series simulation results. The spatio-temporal map is an information visualization technique useful for specifying the feature area from simulation and measurement results. In the map, the change of a physical quantity is allocated in two-dimensional space with spatial and temporal information in each dimension. In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method by applying it to the large scale simulation results.
