1 EnSight 10.1 October 2013 Japan EnSight User Meeting Tokyo, Japan Darin McKinnis VP Sales and Marketing

2 Business Reports 2012 was our best year in company history > 95% renewal rate 2013 Currently on track to beat CEI Japan doing great Kept existing Japanese customers and partners Introduced Japanese Manuals, Japanese EnSight GUI Added New Partners: IDAJ, ISID, Tremendous success with several partnerships EnSight Selected to be Bundled with these CFD packages Flow-3D, Converge, Barracuda

3 Summary of 10.1 Improvements Large Models DR more robust, Windows Launching is easier 10x bigger problems Performance with Threads Comparing Data Case-Linking to compare Cases Reuse Context between Cases Part Cloning Element Filtering Usability Part Tagging Contour Label Locations Quick Colors Group Transform Hide A Trace Recolor Traces Native Polyhedral Support Improved Graphics MPEG-4 High Quality Shading Tube Streamlines Batch Licensing Improved/More Data Readers

4 Large Models

5 Improved EnSight DR DR stands for Distributed Rendering, its for models too big for a single graphics card, for example on a graphics cluster EnSight DR now available for Windows Now much more robust EnSight DR 10.0 customers strongly advised to switch to EnSight DR 9.2 customers using for production work should begin evaluating EnSight DR 10.1.

6 Job Launching ceishell/ceistart Making EnSight easier to launch type: ceistart101 Standalone

7 Job Launching ceishell/ceistart Making EnSight easier to launch type: ceistart101

8 Job Launching ceishell/ceistart Making EnSight easier to launch type: ceistart101

9 Very Large Models 10.0 (SOS): Models with 200M routine Models with 2B possible 10.1 (Multi-level SOS) Models with 2B routine Models with 20B possible

10 EnSight 10.1 Performance Gains CEI has observed 2-4x improvements in several functions with high element count (>50m) parts. EnSight 10.0 Particle traces 8 calculator functions EnSight 10.1 Particle traces calculator functions (the rest on the way) Future - Geometry creation (clips, etc.) in 10.1.x

11 Performance EnSight Standard, 4 threads EnSight Gold, 16 threads Cores and hyperthreads ENSIGHT10_MAX_THREADS environment variable 2 CPU, 6 CORES EACH 64 Gb RAM NUMA MEMORY ARCHITECTURE Seconds

12 Calculation Time (Seconds) Performance/Capacity A 4x Larger Model Can be Calculated in only 1.4x Greater Time using 1 thread/50 M Cells Problem Size (Millions of Cells)

13 Seconds Performance, Threads vs SOS Parallel Performance of 1-12 Threads, 1-12 Servers, or 1-12 Servers with 2 Threads Parallel Units (Servers or Threads) Threads (Seconds) SOS and 1 Thread (Seconds) SOS & 2 Threads (Seconds)

14 Comparing Data

15 Case Linking Purpose: Comparing same design with small changes Goal: Make easy what was possible but very tedious

16 Case Linking Purpose: Comparing same design with small changes Goal: Make easy what was possible but very tedious ON OFF

17 Comparing Cases Rules Load the cases you want to compare The cases must have the same number of parts The variables must be named the same When you stop case-linking you cannot restart it

18 Reuse Context on Case Replace CASE 1 CASE 2 N Steps 0 Steps

19 Part Cloning Deeper copy of a part Exists on Server More functionality Part Copy (previous feature) Sufficient for coloring by another variable

20 Part Cloning Deeper copy of a part Exists on Server More functionality

21 Part Cloning is one of Several Options Copies Extracts Merging Loading Again a Model Part Cloning

22 Element Filtering Filtering Out Up to 6 Filters Model Parts And/Or Filter Options Sequential Non-destructive (no undo necessary) Example: Removing 1, 2, &

23 Usability

24 Part Tagging Quickly Changing the Part Selection using the Keyboard Alt-1 - assigns the current selection to tag #1 Cntl-1 - makes the parts in tag #1 selected 10 tags (0-9) Suggestions: Assign a tag to the fluid domain part(s) To use as parent parts for creation Assign tags to parts you will use often Assign tags to parts with volume rendering Use tags to help build groups Feedback

25 Contour Labels Custom Position Place labels where you want Labels now go on levels and sublevels

26 Contour Labels Custom Position New Right Click Menu Options

27 Quick Color Drag a color onto parts Quickly color parts, plots, viewports, annotations, queries

28 Group Transform RIGHT-CLICK ON A GROUP Alternative to Frame Mode Much easier, more powerful RMB Edit Group Transform

29 Group Transform

30 Group Transform There are 3 ways to transform / rotate geometry in EnSight. 1. Frames - Visual only on the client 2. Group Transform - Put your parts in a group and transform / rotate / scale the group (visual only on the client). 3. Rigid body - Rotation/translation on the server

31 Hide/Delete a Single Particle Trace

32 Recoloring Traces

33 Polyhedrals Native Support Lower Memory Higher Performance Calculations of Variables Feature Extractions Clip Planes CFD Solvers using Polyhedrals Star-CCM+ Converge Fluent OpenFOAM Others

34 Improved Graphics

35 MPEG-4 Video Output Better quality, smaller files Cross-platform CEI pays the royalty for this

36 Smooth High Quality Shading

37 Tube Streamlines

38 Batch Licensing Only using some EnSight licenses to run batch scripts? Python Command Language Add multiple batch licenses to your site at lower prices than full licenses Contact your account manager for pricing

39 Improved Readers LS-Dyna Reader New Converge Modified Case format New CPFD Barracuda Reader New GMV Reader CGNS Reader (3 rd Gen) ABAQUS Reader FLOW-3D And Others!

40 LS-Dyna Reader 2 Readers, Existing and Beta Beta Adds these Features SPH Data Femzip compression Variable names matching LS-PrePost Binary Time-History Files (for plotting)

42 Thank You!

43 Future Plans

44 Future Plans? November International Meeting in Apex, NC, USA CEI Japan will be attending Give your suggestions to Kikkawa-san

45 Future Plans Python Package Manager Current system is Pythonexchange.com Website full of EnSight add-ons and recipes using Python These do not install easily or consistently

46 Future Plans Python Package Manager Distributing Python Add-ons easily over the web

47 Future Plans LS-DYNA Reader CFD Results (Q2 2014) NASTRAN XDB Reader (FEA) (Q1 2014) VTK Reader (alpha) Forte Reader (Reaction Design) EnSight export already available
