Modelica models are mathematical descriptions and therefore their simulation output typically shows numerical variable trajectories. While universal for all kinds of simulations; this representation is oftentimes difficult to understand. In the field of multi-body simulations; 3D visualizations present a way of displaying vast amounts of numerical data in an intuitive way which is instantly understandable; even by people without specialized knowledge. For integration of visualization in Modelica multi-body simulations; the "DLR Visualization Library" has been developed. This paper presents the newest additions to the library and shows their application in several DLR projects.
