Call
it what you want - cutting edge, leading edge or bleeding edge - you're
there, with problems of a size and complexity that nobody thought
possible a few years ago.
EnSight Gold stakes out the territory where models contain millions and
even billions of nodes. Which means you have some good company out on
the frontier.
Big Performance
EnSight Gold's distributed architecture handles scientific and
engineering analysis models containing up to billions of nodes while
optimizing memory use. It builds upon the full functionality of CEI's
EnSight, used by more than 1,500 scientists and engineers worldwide.
Features unique to EnSight Gold include:
- SMP parallel processing support for more than 2 processors.
- Supports multi-pipe display to drive VR planar and non-planar display environments such as a RAVE or multi-panel display wall.
- "Heads Up" Macro (HUM) for creating customized VR
interfaces as well as interaction using VR input devices for head
tracking and manipulation.
- Server-of-server (SoS) functionality for parallel processing of decomposed data on SMP or DMP architectures.
- Output to POV-Ray ray-tracing program for photorealistic images.
- Collaboration between remote users.
- Interfaces with EnLiten Gold for sharing of results in VR environments.
- Support for 3D input devices by Trackd or write your own using CEI's provided API.

Tutorials
A simple tutorial on how to use EnSight
This tutorial provides a step-by-step demonstration of basic EnSight
operation. After successfully completing this tutorial, you should be
able to start EnSight, read a dataset and load a model, transform
objects in the Graphics Window, reset transformation, work with parts
and change part attributes, save an image to a file, and exit EnSight.
A simple tutorial on how to use EnSight 8.0 specifically for CFD
This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for performing many
basic postprocessing operations – especially those relevant to
computational fluid dynamic analysis. After successfully completing
this tutorial you should be able to create a clipping plane and display
contours and vector arrows on the plane, move the clipping plane with
the mouse, create an isosurface and change the isovalue interactively,
create a single particle trace and a rake of traces and save an image
of the Graphics Window to a file.
Fortunately, there's a tool for those who live on the frontiers of
scientific and engineering visualization. It's EnSight Gold, software
for analyzing, visualizing and communicating high-end scientific and
engineering datasets. EnSight Gold takes full advantage of parallel
processing and rendering, provides support for an array of VR devices,
and enables real-time collaboration.
