Here you will find articles on how to solve specific issues related to ESI's software solutions. Missing ESI products will be added progressively. Each article has a short abstract which is accessible to everyone. As logged users you can see the full article with all attached screenshots, and you can post comments related to each article.
As existing 2D Combine in Visual-Mesh, 3D Combine has been introduced to undone refinements.
The aim of this new 3D pattern is to allow users to refine mesh on a restricted area
It is not straightforward to do the conversion Files .fdb in .erfh5 on Network Drive in Visual Viewer.
In order to make it work properly, it is necessary to map network drive to the local machine. In this way, the files on network could be handled like on local...
Easily creating a connection between a tetramesh and an hexamesh is possible, using Boundary Layer Mesh tool.
When comparison between results is needed, coupling windows and synchronizing animations is a key tool.
In order to control grid spacing at user-defined locations, mesh sources are a common tool in CFD-VisCART (Figure 1). Point, Line, Curve, Plane, Box and Surface sources have been available for several years. Cylinder and Sphere sources were introduced a few years back...
CFD-VisCART meshing automatically closes or covers holes in the geometry that are smaller in size than the cell size specified at the surfaces. To cover LARGER holes, the ‘Max Hole Size to Cover’ feature can be used. This feature, introduced in...
When dealing with complex industrial models such as cars and airplanes, hundreds of parts need to be managed. Each one of these parts may also be subdivided into different components. In order to easily manipulate these different parts and components in CFD-VisCART,...
In most CFD simulations, it is required to place inlets/outlets far enough from the region of interest in order to reduce their influence on the solution. In many applications, this can be done by extruding existing inlets/outlets BC patches away from the domain.
The ‘Preserve Features’ option does very well in preserving features between geometry patches – as long as the patches are not coplanar (dihedral angle = 0) or include a very small dihedral angle between them.
