The Leading Tool for Structural and Crash/Impact Analysis
EnSight is the one complete visualization solution for your biggest structural analysis problems, including thermal, vibration, acoustic, and mechanical. Our product is a complete post-processing and visualization product for FEA, FSI and engineering data.
EnSight and EnSight Gold read all of your CAE data including FEA results, particles and SPH meshless methods, and fluid models used in airbag inflation, hydroplaning, sloshing, ditching and other FSI simulations. EnSight Gold lets you load your crash, rollover, airbag inflation, or safety model in a VR environment, and also allows you to collaborate without leaving your desk. With support for parallel post-processing and parallel graphics rendering, EnSight Gold is the leader in handling the largest crash, birdstrike and defense applications in the world.

Type 1 -- Included Readers -- These are accessed by choosing the desired format in the Data Reader dialog. They include common data formats as well as a number of readers for commercial software. These can be internal EnSight Readers as well as User-Defined Readers that interface to EnSight's User-Defined Reader API. If the included reader is a User-Defined Reader there may be more info in $CEI_HOME/ensight80/src/readers. Also see the EnSight Online User Manual for details on using the reader.
Type 2 -- Not Included User-Defined Readers -- These are readers written by customers or vendors using EnSight's User-Defined Reader API. These have the advantage of not requiring a separate data translation step and thus reduce user effort and disk storage requirements. EnSight users can obtain these readers by following the contact information in the table. For writing your own User-Defined Reader, complete documentation and dummy routines may be found in the directory $CEI_HOME/ensight80/src/readers.
Type 3 -- Stand-Alone Translators -- These are written by customers or vendors to convert data into EnSight format files. Several translators are provided with EnSight. These are found in the directory $CEI_HOME/ensight80/translators. Translators must first be compiled before they can be used. Some require links to libraries provided by the vendor of the program in question. See the README files found in each translator's directory. For writing your own translator, a complete description of EnSight formats can be found in Chapter 11 of the EnSight Online User Manual.
Type 4 -- EnSight Format -- These are software vendors that support the EnSight format directly, i.e. an option is provided in their products to output data in EnSight5 or EnSight Case format. If you wish to export EnSight format directly, a complete description of EnSight formats can be found in Chapter 11 of the EnSight Online User Manual.
