Intelligent Light introduces new batch-only licensing for speed and
savings
|
 With FieldView 12.3, Intelligent Light introduces an
innovative 'batch-only' licensing option that allows
you to run several instances of FieldView on your HPC server for concurrent
processing -- without having to purchase multiple full FieldView licenses.
Imagine all you could accomplish with the
increased throughput, fast turnaround, and efficient HPC resource
utilization the batch-only option provides.
At as little as one-tenth the cost of a standard FieldView
license and bundled in packs of 5 to 200, these
batch-only licenses will speed processing of transient simulations, animation
and report production, and batch-driven automation routines, such as repeating
the same set of calculations, or creating images and animations for hundreds of
design variations.
"At Intelligent
Light, we've always put our customers first, and this new licensing option is a
clear demonstration of that philosophy," says Steve Legensky, IL founder and
general manager. "It delivers productivity and value in a way that supports increased
ROI and efficient utilization of HPC resources. Certainly users can post-process larger models than ever before, but the batch-only licensing option increases
capacity and throughput using existing HPC hardware at lower cost than
adding FieldView licenses. We believe that's a winning proposition."

FieldView Webinar: Great movies with transient data made easy
|
 Most CFD users don't consider
working with transient data and particle paths to be easy, but at Intelligent
Light, we do -- and we can make it easy for you, too. Join us Tuesday, June 8, for
this free webinar focused on post-processing transient data and particle paths.
Using an internal flow case, we'll highlight the value of techniques such as exploded
views for getting a good look inside your data. You'll also get tips on making your
images and animations look their best.
Choose
from one of two sessions, at 10:00 A.M. EDT (14:00 GMT) or 1:00 P.M. EDT (17:00 GMT). Want to
see a great-looking transient animation? Click here -- you can download a movie
giving you a sneak peek at the animation we'll produce during the webinar, and
register to participate.

NUE
promises faster, consistent overset grid management
|
As CFD
users know, not every geometry can be best
represented by a single type of structured or unstructured grid. The
overset
grid approach is one way to overcome this difficulty, but it often
requires the
use of a disjointed ensemble of tools which create a completely different set of challenges.
To address this challenge, Intelligent Light is
developing NUE -- a Novel Universal Ensemble. NUE is designed to allow
various
overset tools (grid generators, grid assembly, flow solvers, grid and
solution
files) to more effortlessly work in concert with one another. NUE
consists of
custom GUIs that are created with FieldView's FVX and Python
capabilities.
The user can manage flow solver inputs, control the
grid assembly process, and launch the flow solver all within
FieldView. After collecting the
results, FieldView generates a report on grid
convergence and yields customized post-processing
reports.
The
user
can then analyze that data with FieldView to identify grid flaws and
mark up areas for grid refinement to guide the regeneration of improved
grids. In
addition, NUE allows
the user to create and send custom reports to a browser window for analysis,
visualization and presentation.
By
enabling all the components of an overset ensemble of tools to interact
consistently and efficiently from within FieldView, NUE offers an
innovative,
standardized capability that reduces the time spent managing
simulations while
increasing their accuracy from the start.
Research on NUE is being conducted under an Intelligent Light NASA
Phase I SBIR
contract sponsored by NASA
Ames Research
Center. The goal
of the
project is to develop both custom and commercially available tools for
managing
overset grids.

FieldView 12.3 release highlights
|
Easier than ever parallel access, configuration, customization,
and diagnostics
FieldView Parallel capabilities are now
available directly from the data input menu, and a range of new features make
parallel server configuration easier. Use new configuration and timing
information to get the most out of your FieldView Parallel. Users running
FieldView on Windows or Linux systems with four cores can double the speed
of their data runs by utilizing the parallel features with their standard
license.
Time-saving Boundary Data Only read-ins get you to first pictures 15-20
times faster
 Use
the new boundary data only read feature to get your fastest path to a
picture. In Intelligent Light's testing,
limiting the data read operation to only the boundary surfaces resulted in
read-in times that were 15 to 20 times faster than reading a full dataset into
FieldView, already the benchmark for efficient data loading.
Expanded Python integration on all platforms helps capture and
automate workflow practices
For
FieldView users with existing Python-based automation routines, integration and
support have been substantially expanded. Customers now have the option
to include a Python version with a standard FieldView installation.
New turbomachinery capability -- display unrolled cylindrical
surfaces with a single button
By
enabling users to unroll cylindrical iso-surfaces, automatically placing them
flat to the screen, FieldView 12.3 provides a simple and very useful way to
visualize, explore, and better understand the intricate flow phenomena common
to these machines. Independent horizontal and vertical scaling of unrolled
surfaces is also possible.
Research to real-world: OVERFLOW-2 direct reader
FieldView users can now
read OVERFLOW-2 results files directly into FieldView 12.3, saving significant time
and storage space. The reader is fully compatible with FieldView Parallel
operations and all automation tools and functions, allowing you to smoothly
integrate OVERFLOW-2 data into FieldView's powerful post-processing toolset. A
prototype reader developed under a NASA Langley-sponsored SBIR was commercialized
by Intelligent
Light.
