FieldView 13 CFD Software

Improvements to the FieldView 13 family of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) post-processing and visualization programs aim to help practitioners carry out high-fidelity CFD. The recently released FieldView 13.1 provides a new direct reader that allows FieldView to be used seamlessly with the OpenFOAM CFD solver. OpenFOAM users can rely on FieldView to create transient animations with a single click, perform simultaneous post-processing tasks while generating new solutions, numerically compare solutions with those from other solvers or experimental data, and more. Upgrades include a new graphics core, a unified graphical user interface, and data management via an extract database (XDB)-based workflow. The data-management system drastically reduces the data read-in times and storage requirements, enables inter-active 3D transient animations, and can be run in the background or overnight for the fastest path to analysis. The program offers new user interfaces for Windows and Linux platforms.
