New OpenFOAMŪ reader maximizes productivity, impact
OpenFOAM users are generating high-quality solutions, often on a large scale. FieldView 13.1 reads OpenFOAM data directly, without the need for repartitioning, and makes it both easy and efficient to evaluate the solutions. Robust and reliable automation tools combined with innovative licensing options make it practical to meet the needs of advanced CFD users with large volumes of transient and steady state simulation data. FieldView is easy to use for new, occasional, and experienced users and gives CFD analysts the analytical and visualization tools to support informed decision making.
OpenFOAM users rely on FieldView to:
- Perform quantitative and qualitative comparisons
- Rapidly and easily create transient animations with a single click
- Simultaneously perform post-processing tasks while generating new solutions
- Reuse previous work on new datasets
- Numerically compare solutions with solutions from other solvers and/or experimental data
- Reduce turnaround time with FieldView Parallel and Batch capabilities
- Control simulation costs and increase productivity
FieldView gives you the tools to:
- Increase output and productivity with robust automation & visualization
- Simultaneously post-process results while generating new solutions
- Manage costs when working with large volumes of simulations
- Speed path to understanding - get to the critical answers faster
- Present high impact, actionable results
Benefits of the direct reader for OpenFOAM data include:
- Read partitioned data without grouping and exporting,or read reconstructed data
- Save time and disk space
- Read multiple partitions per processor
- Automatic recogniton of boundaries, scalars, and vectors
- Streamline wall marking
- Grid subsetting
- Optimization for fast & accurate interpolation of standard cell types
- Automation via full FieldView FVX and RESTART support
Capture the Power of FieldView for Large Data
Parallel - Use scalable HPC systems to post-process large scale OpenFOAM solutions with FieldView Parallel. Using multiple processors from an HPC server or multi-core workstation, you can post-process your solutions in a fraction of the time required by single-processor approaches. Users routinely experience 5x speedup on 8 processors and some customers have cut their processing time by 11.5x or more. FieldView Parallel is simple and reliable whether working locally or on remote systems. Every FieldView license can support local parallel on up to 3 processors; higher processor count support is available at moderate cost.
Batch - Run FieldView in batch mode to post-process your data and deliver results and restart files so you see what you want to see when you begin. Use multiple FieldView batch-only licenses to concurrently generate animation frames or post-process several time steps or variations. FieldView Batch Packs can be utilized at as little as one-tenth the cost of a standard FieldView license.
Don't move your data - FieldView is designed to allow you to interact and explore your solutions while the data remains on the server. The client-server architecture delivers full interactive peformance and eliminates the need to copy data from the server to another machine.
