With rapid development of engineering numerical computation methods and extensive application of finite element analysis software, the demands of post-processing of calculation results are more and more high. The quality and efficiency of plotting contour map are important factors in analyzing of calculated results and in multi-schemed comparison. In this paper, automatic plotting of contour maps is achieved by realizing of compatibility of VB6.0, an embedded programming method in VB software, with Surfer 8.0, a powerful plotting function provided by Surfer software. Based on the approaching introduced in this paper, a batch processing visualization software for contour maps is developed. That can improve the efficiency of the post-processing of finite element analysis significantly.
