Webinars

We have produced live and pre-recorded webinar events to help you see firsthand some of the ways that FieldView helps CFD practitioners perform exceptional work. We invite you to use these recorded events as a way to explore and learn more about using FieldView. The events are intended for both new and existing FieldView users.

"I really liked the demonstration of how to use the features. It reduces the effort of learning new things. This was almost like sitting down with a colleague who is showing you how to do something."

High-fidelity, High-productivity CFD Simulations of Airflow over a Golf Club Head

This webinar was presented by our parterns at Pointwise and includes a section devoted to post-processing the aerodynamic simulations of a golf club featured in the case study. Speakers will introduce the case, compare multiple meshing approaches, and share their results. The file is a Windows Media file (.wmv, 60mb) and the Intelligent Light portion begins at 24:16. More info and download

The webinar covers:

  • Using Pointwise for hybrid mesh generation
  • Combining Pointwise with UTC SimCenter's tools to make hybrid meshes
  • Distributed-memory, parallel CFD computations using UTC SimCenter's TENASI Navier-Stokes solver
  • Understanding complex flow features and deriving actionable information using FieldView in a high-productivity CFD workflow (starts at 24:16)

Make FieldView Work for You Overnight and Get a Good Night's Sleep

We will show you how to make FieldView part of your overnight run to generate plots, pictures and animations and get the numbers you need. In the morning, you will be able to look at your results immediately and spend your valuable time making decisions. If something requires closer inspection, you will be able to load the work from the overnight session for interactive exploration. Then you will continue to benefit from your investment as you reuse the same scripts on the next set of simulations, a new design or your next project.

We will give you step-by-step instructions to:

  • Turn your interactive post-processing of pictures, plots and animations into scripts
  • Prepare your scripts for "Overnight" post-processing
  • Automatically Generate Reports
  • Apply the same scripts to subsequent iterations

KeyFrame Animation

Many people have asked for details about how to use the KeyFrame Animation features in FieldView. This webinar gives detailed instructions and will introduce concepts that will help you to be more successful in planning and executing your KeyFrame Animations.

You will learn:

  • Key concepts and terms
  • How to turn your story into a storyboard and then into a timeline
  • What types of movies require the use of Keyframe Animation

Make Great Movies with Your Transient Data

Making great movies with transient data doesn't have to be hard.

Most people don't consider working with transient data and particle paths to be easy: but we do.

This presentation will be valuable to any CFD user who wants to learn techniques for post-processing transient data and particle paths. We will be using an internal flow case to highlight the value of techniques like exploded views for getting a good look inside you data. Plus you will get tips on how to make your images and animations look their best.

FieldView Basics - Get Started Quickly

The most frequently requested topic for our webinar series is: FieldView Basics. Many people have asked us for a demonstration on how to get started quickly, how to make and save great looking pictures, and how to make and save movies that will clearly communicate your results.

People new to FieldView will get an excellent introduction to what is possible and how easy it is to get started. Even long-time FieldView users will pick up a few tips on how to do things more quickly and easily and how to improve the overall quality of their images and animations.

Get the Most from your Multi-Processor Hardware with FieldView

CFD Problem size and complexity continues to increase. CFD Engineers are creating larger meshes and running the solver in parallel to get a solution in a reasonable amount of time. Frankly, most Post-Processing tools have not kept up with the advances in problem size.

FieldView gives you a range of options to help you handle your large data now, and FieldView will grow with you as your problem size and complexity grows.

Significantly reduce Post-Processing time and make better use of your multi-core and multi-processor hardware with FieldView Client-Server and FieldView Parallel. Join Intelligent Light for this live demonstration and discussion to learn how FieldView will grow with you

  • Get more done on your multi-core and multi-processor desktop
  • Access remote data and handle large data effectively with FieldView Client-Server mode
  • Extend Client-Server mode for more servers to learn how to use FieldView in Parallel

FieldView 12.2 - Get More for Less

FieldView users tell us that they are being asked to do more with less: Grid size is increasing, manpower is under pressure, more automation is required and their Multi-core / Multi-processor hardware is not fully utilized.

FieldView 12.2 was designed to help the CFD community meet the challenges of these difficult times.

FieldView 12.2

  • Reduces costs by making better use of existing hardware
  • 2X speed up to do more in less time for free
  • Easy upgrade to 8, 16, 32 or 64 processors if you need more power
  • Automation to do more with less manpower

More CFD in Less Time with Post-Processing Automation

Automation is the key to doing more in less time. Many CFD users want to know more about post-processing automation, but are reluctant to take the time to learn a new scripting language. In this introduction to Post-Processing Automation with FieldView we will demonstrate how to:

  • Apply an existing visualization to a new dataset
  • Create images and animations in batch
  • Capture your investment in advanced post-processing with repeatable, reliable, reusable scripts
