> Steve,
Good Morning Shenting, 

We support 4 packages that can display and analyze model output from the NGRID 
feed:

1) GEMPAK
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/

2) McIDAS
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/mcidas/

3) IDV
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/

4) AWIPS
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/

AWIPS currently requires an EDEX server to connect to, we do provide a publicly 
available server.

Happy to answer any questions you may have. 

Perhaps it is best for you to start with the URLs i have provided, and see what 
package(s) will work best for your needs.

Jeff
