2006 UK Simulation Conference papers

We have recently been granted access to publish the papers from the 2006 UK Simulation Conference.  Click here to view papers from Sports Engineering at the Center for Sport and Exercise Science at Sheffield Hallam University, Jaguar Land Rover, Streamline Computing, ANSYS, ICON Simulation Services, Sharc and CEI.  Unfortunately, some of the animations for these presentations were left off because of confidentiality reasons.

New EnSight Tutorials and Recorded Sessions

The following are a listing of tutorials and training sessions recently created by CEI staff in order to help new users understand our software, as well as educate current users on certain features within the applications.  Each session varies in length.  To view the tutorials, click here.

Color by Variable
Color any part in the EnSight environment by a variable with this brief tutorial, and interactively manipulate the color palette.

Test 2D Plot
This tutorial exhibits the EnSight command “ test: special 2d plot” to automatically generate graphs based on integrated values on a plane swept through the model. This type of command is particularly useful for generating graphs of mass flux average temperature through the domain, or average swirl velocity, etc.
5 minutes, 42 seconds

Flow Feature Extraction
In this tutorial you will learn the use of EnSight’s vortex core, separation and attachment line, and boundary layer extraction tools.

Palettes and Annotations
Watch this demonstration to learn how to modify palettes and create user customized color palettes. In addition, more advanced features of annotation such as variable linked annotations, 3D arrows, and interactive query annotations are shown.

Transient Min/Max/Average Temporal
Tutorial demonstrates how to calculate and graph minimum, maximum and average data on parts for transient runs. In addition, this tutorial displays the use of temporal average function with transient data to produce an average over time for your domain.

User Defined Tools
Customization of EnSight using the user defined tools capability. Tutorial demonstrates the use and creation of new icons within the ‘UserDefinedTool’ menu system.

Quantify Reverse Flow
This tutorial teaches you how to use the integrate command and limits to quantify the amount of reverse flow through a plane.

EnSight Recorded Sessions

Flow Field Clip
This tutorial illustrates a great way to visualize solution data in the flow field.  The 2D clip that is created can interactively sample the solution set as it is repositioned.
2 minutes, 28 seconds

Background
This tutorial shows users where to go to customize the look of your EnSight GUI and the background of your visualization window.
