FieldView for external airflow simulation

Simulating external airflow can result in extremely large models. Transient simulations frequently involve milllions or billions of cells and scores of time steps. Analyzing and understanding these massive simulations requires:

  • Advanced high performance computing (HPC) resources
  • Automatically identifying important flow features
  • Interactively interrogating large datasets
  • Recognizing critical values
  • Maximum impact output for presentation and publication
Advanced high performance computing resources

The sophisticated algorithms and data-handling capabilites built into FieldView allow you to post-process large simulations from your in-house or commercial solver. FieldView is extremely fast even when processing the most sophisticated data. Its HPC data handlers make it easy to manage and store your biggest problems.

Automatically identify important flow features

With just a few clicks, FieldView will identify important flow features:

  • Quickly identify vortex cores
  • Discover and explore complex surface flows
  • Locate shock surfaces seen at Mach-plus speeds
Interactively interrogate large datasets
  • Place streamline or streakline seeds anywhere in your data and move them around with ease
  • Change the model orientation easily, usually without decimation
  • Make specific geometry invisible or transparent without losing its contribution to the model
Recognize critical values
  • Find specific values anywhere in a model with point-probe
  • Discover major lift or drag contributors
  • Identify turbulent flow
Maximum impact output for presentation and publication
  • Presentation rendering option produces stunning images with volumes of data clearly represented
  • Create animations easily in a wide variety of standard file formats
  • Use FVX scripting to rapidly regenerate animations or images when data changes
  • Create standalone plots to stand alone or be combined with and image
  • EMF and Postscript output for crisp, clean text
