Abstract
An apparatus is provided for implementation of a system for visualization and diagnostic analysis of a complex system such as an aircraft composed of a plurality of elements. The apparatus may receive and process data for a physical instance of the complex system to identify a maintenance message for the complex system. A diagnostic procedure defined for and associated with the maintenance message, may involve or implicate one or more interested elements of the plurality of elements. The apparatus may generate a visual presentation of at least a portion of the complex system. The visual presentation may be digital media and depict the interested element(s) and one or more other elements of the plurality of elements. And the apparatus may apply a visual effect to the interested element(s) depicted by the visual presentation to distinguish the interested element(s) from the other element(s) depicted by the visual presentation.
