When analyzing objects in mechanical design, the simulation results show physical data such as von Mises stress, distortion, maximum stress, and mean stress. These results can not only confirm already known phenomena but also provide new insights. Therefore, we propose a technique for visualizing the distribution changes over time of multi-variable datasets via graphical representation.
