Application to visualize simultaneous vibrations of plates and ribs in a violin.

A code was written to explore, in real-time, experimental operational deflection shapes up to 5 kHz of a violin soundbox. The animations can be rotated and zoomed using the mouse, while the developed graphical user interface (GUI) allows controlling the frequency, amplitude, and frame-per-second rate. Also, some parts of the model can be hidden to improve the visualization of specific details of interest.
