FieldView continues it role in delivering powerful but accessible tools for the analysis and presentation of simulation results. Numerical and qualitative dataset comparison, presentation quality images and animations. With this latest update for FieldView, users will find the same simple, efficient, reliable environment they appreciate and are familiar with along with new functionality. For CFD practitioners with simulations from multiple CFD solvers, the full, multi-solver FieldView version 12 is available to post-process and even compare data from the disparate systems. FieldView has become the most comprehensive post-processing and visualization tool on the market today.

Intelligent Light is also pleased to offer a special, no-cost post-processing upgrade to the users of POLYFLOW and FIDAP CFD solvers. These users have long relied on FieldView as the post-processor delivered with their software. Intelligent Light is pleased to announce the availability of a special version of FieldView, Version 12F, exclusively for these CFD practitioners. For information and download, please visit http://www.ilight.com/ansysupgrade.

"We are offering this special program to provide the latest FieldView capability and direct access to our support and post-processing expertise," said Steve M. Legensky, general manager at Intelligent Light. "We welcome POLYFLOW and FIDAP users to the Intelligent Light community with an unwavering commitment to their success. It is an easy transition from the earlier versions of FieldView that were bundled with their previous product deliveries."

"POLYFLOW provides unique capabilities to the CFD community. The solver is best-in-class for modeling materials with highly complex, time dependent, rheological properties. FieldView continues to provide sophisticated and easily customizable features to follow and understand the changes these materials undergo in a wide range of operational and manufacturing environments," said FieldView product manager, Matthew N. Godo, Ph. D.

Current users of FieldView for POLYFLOW and FIDAP will benefit from specific improvements to easily manage and understand time dependent effects, offering the ability to generate side by side case animations with a single mouse click. Surfaces that cut through models to display variables such as temperature and non-Newtonian viscosity can be simultaneously swept through each dataset and directly saved as animations using our simple linked surface feature. Exports to our free FieldView Advanced Technology Viewer give engineers a way to collaborate with members of their work groups.

This release also delivers advancements for printing and publishing of results and 2-D analysis and presentation. Now POLYFLOW and FIDAP users have access to this and all the capabilities of FieldView at through a no-cost software download.
