Intelligent Light Announces New FieldView 13 Update

By DE Editors

Intelligent Light has released version 13.1 of its FieldView program for CFD post-processing, data management, and visualization. With the version 13.1 release, Intelligent Light adds a new direct reader for OpenFOAM data.

FieldView can recognize a series of XDB files, each containing a single timestep, as a transient sequence. This can cut the time to sweep a transient XDB series by a factor of 4 to 7X, according to the company.

Point probing, dataset sampling, streamline and streakline calculation, and automated streamline seeding are just some of the FieldView features targeted in this update. In a case containing 100M cells for an XDB dataset sampling operation run on a system with 32GB RAM, over 300,000 probes per second were achieved at full optimization, delivering a nearly 200X speedup factor, Intelligent Light says.

OpenFOAM is an open source solver for CFD. FieldViews new direct reader for OpenFOAM data can read either reconstructed or decomposed (partitioned) data with no need to repartition or export the data. Full support for automation for batch operation with OpenFOAM results is provided.
