VISUALIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF A TOPICAL ELEMENT OF A COMPLEX SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An apparatus for implementation of a system for visualization and analysis of a topical element of a complex system, the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory storing executable instructions that in response to execution by the processor cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive and process data for one or more physical instances of a complex system composed of a plurality of elements, the data being received and processed to identify a topical element from the plurality of elements;
receive a digital three-dimensional (3D) model of the complex system;
generate a visual presentation of at least a portion of the digital 3D model, the visual presentation depicting the topical element and one or more other elements of the plurality of elements; and
apply a visual effect to the topical element depicted by the visual presentation to distinguish the topical element from the one or more other elements depicted by the visual presentation.

Abstract
An apparatus is provided for implementation of a system for visualization and analysis of a complex system such as an aircraft composed of a plurality of elements. The apparatus may be caused to receive and process data for physical instance(s) of the complex system to identify a topical element. The apparatus may be caused to receive a digital 3D model of the complex system, generate a visual presentation of at least a portion of the digital 3D model, with the visual presentation depicting the topical element and one or more other elements of the plurality of elements. And the apparatus may be caused to apply a visual effect to the topical element depicted by the visual presentation to distinguish the topical element from the other element(s) depicted by the visual presentation.
