FAST runs on SGI workstatations. It is executed by typing fast

The Flow Analysis Software Toolkit (FAST) is a system
developed by NASA to analyze flow data, particularly from
computational fluid dynamics. It consists of a collection of
separate modules that run simultaneously and allow users to
analyze data. FAST allows the user to examine the results of
numerical simulations by loading data files, performing
calculations on the data, visualizing the results of these
calculations, and constructing scenes of 3D graphical objects
that may be animated and recorded. FAST has modules for
visualizing data on structured and unstructured grids and for
applying a variety of analysis techniques including contour
plots, particle traces, streamlines, and others. It is a
follow-on to Plot3D but with a highly interactive graphical user
interface. (FAST can read Plot3D file formats.) The FAST manual
is in the SciVis Lab bookshelf.
