Tips & Tricks

Creating Strip Charts in CFD-VIEW

The Strip Chart feature in CFD-VIEW is a very useful tool for analyzing time dependent quantities from transient simulations. The feature can be found in the second row of the Operator Palette as shown. This note provides you with an overview of how to use and implement the Strip Chart feature.

Parametric Studies with CFD-FASTRAN

CFD-FASTRAN-GUI has a new "Parametric Set Up" template that allows the user to run parametric cases. Most of the text input fields - including boundary conditions, properties, and solver control parameters - are available for parametric run. This allows the user to submit the parametric cases in one shot and post-process the results later on.

Blanking, Grouping and Selecting Entities in CFD-CADalyzer

When working with models in CFD-CADalyzer, especially the more complicated ones, Blanking, Grouping and Selection tools can considerably simplify model setup and visualization.

Automatic Report Generator in CFD-CADalyzer

The Report Generator in CFD-CADalyzer allows a user to generate and print a detailed report of the CFD simulation that has been set up and run. The user can also customize the report to make it fit his/her needs and demands.

File Based Animation with CFD-VIEW

The animation panel in CFD-VIEW can be used for file-based animations, where time dependent data files are loaded one by one to show the temporal aspects of the simulation.
