EnSight 10 From CEI Features New Structured Volume Rendering

By DE Editors

CEI has released EnSight 10, the latest version of its 3D visualization software for post-processing of CAE/CFD data and analysis. EnSight 10 features a new, structured volume rendering capability and a streamlined user interface for analyzing and communicating complex simulation results.

According to the company, by using a structured, uniform mesh to render complex data sets, EnSight 10 offers better interactivity and eliminates the large memory requirements that often result from unstructured volume rendering. The result is a smoother and faster rendering of large, complex data volumes, with the ability to run parallel rendering across multiple graphics cards and visualize volume datasets. The EnSight user can specify the structured volumes resolution, allowing them to balance resolution versus graphics memory requirements.

The all new EnSight 10 user interface offers customization options and drag-and-drop and right-click capabilities. EnSight 10 users can quickly color each part in the scene instantly by dragging and dropping calculated variables from new variables list.

The software also allows users to build custom GUI toolbars, similar to the Windows Ribbon, based on the options, features and functionality needed. For example, for jet engine analysis, place only the tools required for this work on the toolbar and eliminate the distraction and need to search through all the other functionality to find the tools required. If EnSight customers or developers build new features using the Python scripting language, those features can be added to the GUI toolbar as if the feature was included in standard EnSight.

Support for additional data readers includes the ability to read FLD files, a common Japanese format, as well as newer CGNS file versions,  with both 2D and 3D parts in CGNS files now supported. EnSight 10s GUI menu and dialogues can also be translated to other languages such as Japanese or Chinese.
