This webinar includes a live interactive sessions with complex data. However, the webinar format requires substantial degradation of graphics performance. To give you a realistic view of interactive performance we are providing a movie of a live screen capture of an interactive session. We are also providing two high quality versions of the movies that were show during the event.

See what the FieldView user's experience looks like by downloading and viewing the following videos:

1. In-Cylinder Combustion 3-Views
2. In-Cylinder Combustion 4-Views
3. In-Cylinder Combustion interactive exploration of transient sequence

You will learn how to:

• Create and analyze ICE simulations with hundreds of time steps using hundreds of thousands of simulated particles
• Interactively explore this high fidelity data to improve understanding of your results
• Exploit a data management strategy to make these large problems tractable

Learn how you can create and analyze ICE simulations with hundreds of time steps and hundreds of thousands of simulated particles. Interactively explore your high fidelity data to improve understanding of your results.

Attend this special webinar by Intelligent Light and Convergent Science to see how you can escape current limitations and achieve more from your CFD.

An innovative transient post-processing approach for ICE simulations

In the quest to improve simulation accuracy, and fueled by the rise of HPC, simulations are being performed on ever finer meshes and with larger number of particles. In the case of internal combustion engine CFD, which requires very long transient runs in order to reach convergence, this has become problematic due to the huge amount of data and the time it takes to review it.

This presentation will describe, through an ICE case study simulated with CONVERGE, an innovative post-processing approach that allows interactive analysis of several hundreds of time steps, containing hundreds of thousands of simulated particles.  Combined with more traditional methods (transient animations, time history plots...), this interactive investigation technique will provide unprecedented insight to complex transient flows.

A question and answer session will follow the webinar.

“Cray systems provide central computational resources at commercial, academic and government centers around the world; often serving distributed user communities.  Efficient tools to analyze CFD simulation results and enable the remote user community are essential.   Management, automation, and remote visualization capabilities in FieldView are a proven technology for post processing whether the data is across the room or across the country. Cray is pleased to work with Intelligent Light to ensure this is a robust and efficient solution.”

This work was recently awarded the IDC HPC Innovation Excellence Award. “For the Outstanding Application of HPC for Business and Scientific Achievements."

 

Dr. Duque will be joined by Greg Clifford, Manufacturing Segment Manager at CRAY.  Cray is partnering with Intelligent Light to help meet the data management and remote visualization demands of their clients.  The material provided in this webinar is a great example of how simulation data management can be done effectively in a Cray environment.

CREATE™–AV team and Intelligent Light tackle 45 seconds of flight time
with unique in situ XDB workflow

With a goal of improved pilot training for sea-based aircraft operations, the CREATE–AV team took on the task of coupling CREATE–AV Kestrel to the Navy flight simulator CASTLE.  This two-way coupling might lead to better simulation of a difficult landing environment.

The high temporal fidelity of 45 seconds at 60 files per second meant that an innovative approach would be needed to handle the data.  The CREATE–AV team reached out to Intelligent Light for help.   The unique workflow combined libsim and FieldView XDBs (extracts) to enable detailed animations that gave physical insight in hours rather than days.

You will learn: 

• Benefits of in situ post-processing
• Basics of implementing an in situ workflow
• How to utilize XDB extracts that are 10 to 1,000X smaller than solution data
