EnSight Versions EnSightCEI SoftwareStandardGeneral purposeHas full set of features,except for special casesRecommended for:most usersHPCSMP & DMPMore CPU threads(up to 128)The main feature isDistributed MemoryParallel. Useful for datawith ~100 million cells ormore.VRVirtual realityVirtual reality verypopular in ChinaSingle and multiplecomputer renderingDesktopStarter packageHas all basic featuresRecommended for:low budget 6. Colors and Transparency EnSightCEI SoftwareUsing Colors and TransparencyMore Effectively at Procter & Gamble 7. EnSightColors and Transparency CEI SoftwareDraw attention to important areas by selecting appropriate colorsLow stress values are blueAnd all parts of the bottle interestingLow stress values are blueAnd all parts of the bottle interestingBut the contrast is not huge, and the other side of the bottle is not visible 8. EnSightColors and Transparency CEI SoftwareStep 2Change from single transparencyto variable transparencyStep 3Adjust transparencyto achieve desired resultStep 1Color by a variable 9. EnSightColors and Transparency CEI SoftwareVariable transparency Can be high or low contrast Both color and transparencyrepresent variable values More of the model is visible Usable on lines and surfaces,and boundaries of 3D parts 10. EnSightBitmap textures CEI SoftwareTexture a logo, material, or detail2D images can be textured onto 2D and 3Dobjects in EnSight. 11. EnSightBitmap textures CEI SoftwareTextures move with partsAn image which has been textured onto a part moves with that part(optional setting).Example: LS-Dyna crash (comparing two simulations)Company logo on helmets 12. EnSightSmoother animations CEI SoftwareInterpolation ofgeometry andvariables betweentime stepsExample: Ford Tauruscrash simulation byLS-DynaResults files contain25 time stepsNo interpolationTotal frames: 25FPS: 15Play time: 1.67sNo interpolationTotal frames: 25FPS: 4Play time: 6.25sInterpolationTotal frames: 97FPS: 15Play time: 6.47s 13. EnSightCameras and view tracking CEI SoftwareFollowing moving points of interestOne end of an arm is fixed to a center point. The arm rotates aroundthis point and a second arm is attached to the other end. Theinteresting region is the hinge between the two arms.Example: Rotating hinge 14. EnSightMultiple datasets CEI SoftwareDynaformBendingsequenceExample: 3-step pipe bending sequenceSimulation by DynaformSimultaneously loadmultiple results.View in the same ordifferent viewports.Customize viewportsize, location, andappearance. 15. EnSightMultiphysics CEI SoftwareLS-DynaFEA + SPHExample: Bird strike on airplane wingFEA simulation of wingSPH simulation of birdIndependentvisualization andcalculation featuresand options forstructures andparticles 16. EnSightMultiphysics CEI SoftwareLS-DynaFEA + CFDFeatures for FEA andCFD visualizationand post processingcan be usedtogether.Example: LS-Dyna parachute openingArrows show air velocityParachute colored by stress 17. EnSightVolume Rendering CEI SoftwareAdvanced visualization techniqueUse color and transparency to visualize full 3D volumes.Example: LS-Dyna parachute openingAir colored by velocityParachute colored by stress 18. EnSightNode Tracks CEI SoftwareLines that follow the paths of nodes over timeTrack single particles Track any node in a structureExample:Excavator simulation by MSC.ADAMSParticles simulation by EDEMExample: Bird strike on airplane wingFEA simulation of wing by LS-DynaSPH simulation of bird by LS-Dyna 19.
