 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 software for finite element analysis, fluid-structure
interaction and engineering data.
EnSight and EnSight Gold read all of
your CAE data including FEA results, particles and SPH meshless
methods, as well as fluid models that are used in airbag inflation,
hydroplaning, sloshing, ditching and other fluid-structure interaction
simulations. EnSight Gold adds the ability to load your crash,
rollover, airbag inflation, or safety model in a VR environment, and
also allows multiple users to collaborate without leaving their desks.
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.
