Point Net Feature in CFD-VIEW

A Point Net is primarily used for creating an evenly spaced vector field over existing 3D volumes, 2D surfaces (if the domain is two-dimensional), or cutting planes. The Point Net creates a set of points over the selected entity, and the simulation variable values (such as pressure, temperature, etc.) at these points are derived by interpolation on the underlying mesh.

Quick Access to Commonly Used Directories

When you click on the Open File icon in any of the ESI Software products, a File browser panel appears.   Look closely and you will see a red flag, a hammer and a house among the icons at the top of the panel.

Use Perspective View for More Natural Visualizations

By default, CFD-VIEW shows you a ‘parallel’ perspective on your model where the scene has no depth to it.   In reality, things that are farther away from our eyes appear closer together within our field of vision.

Using CFD-VIEW Scripting for Transient Simulations

With the Python scripting capabilities of CFD-VIEW, you can quickly and easily perform the repetitive tasks you encounter when post-processing transient simulations.

Tracking Multiple Variables with Multiple Legends

When post-processing with CFD-VIEW, one may wish to display two different variables on two different objects. This requires the use of two legends to correspond to the different color mapping of the variables. The legend tracking feature in CFD-VIEW can be used to achieve this.
