ParaView - open source postporcessing software for data analysis

on

 In many studies, appearance is the factor that attracts attention. During the face to face presentation, 90% of the speaker's perception is assessed by appearance and gestures (according to the latest research).

Why should I try ParaView ???

Each engineer or scientist pays a lot of attention to the quality of the presented results. Therefore, it is extremely important to choose the right post-processing program. 
It seems that ParaView, an open source software, may be a very appropriate choice.
The possibilities of this tool are very wide. It is primarily a platform for the analysis of all kinds of data and visualization.
Thanks to the use of multi-threading, the program can analyze really large data sets.
For CFD users, ParaView software can open up new directions when it comes to data analysis and visualization. In addition to working with the GUI interface, it is also possible to programming at the postprocessing stage.
The software also finds applications outside the fields of fluid mechanics and FEA computation. Using CDAT, it is possible to analyze and forecast the weather. Thanks to the multi-vector analysis of satellite data, it is possible to work on a mathematical model of the Earth's climate changes.
The combination of FreeCad, ParaView and OpenFoam creates a powerful multi-physics tool.
ParaView software is constantly updated. There are many tutorials on the web that will help you get started quickly. On the creators page (link below) there is a user manual and examples of using ParaView.

ParaView software appears to be a more universal data analysis tool than its commercial counterparts. First of all, because it is Open Source software, which in no way limits the purpose of this tool for an engineer or scientist.
A very interesting option would be to check (compare) the results analyzed and generated in ParaView and commercial equivalents. I think that when it comes to the possibility of this type of software OPEN SOURCE could pleasantly surprise you. Maybe in some time an attempt of this type of validation will be made.

Quick Tip: How to fix Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR in Ansys (Fluent)

 The error message Error: GENERAL-CAR-CDR: invalid argument [1]: improper list means that there is a problem with the scheme code or the UDF (user-defined function) in your case or data file . Some possible solutions are: Save the case and data file and try to reopen it. Reset the Fluent Setup tab and try opening the mesh. Remesh the geometry and reopen in Fluent. Change the material definition from “Solid” to “Fluid” in Design Modeler. Change the transient to steady if you are using evaporation-condensation as the phase interaction mechanism. Check the syntax of your UDF and make sure it follows the new rules in Fluent 6.2.16 or later. I hope this helps you resolve the error. If you need more assistance, please visit the Ansys Learning Forum or contact Ansys Support . Have a nice day! 😊 Sources: 1. smartadm.ru 2. cfd-online.com 3. forum.ansys.com 4. forum.ansys.com In Polish  BÅ‚Ä…d: GENERAL-CAR-CDR oznacza, że wystÄ…piÅ‚ problem z kodem Scheme w programie Ansys Fluent.

Types of supports and examples - Ansys Static Structural

Supports are used to represent parts that are not present in the model but are interacting with it. Supports help truncate the domain, which helps in efficiently obtaining numerically accurate results without modeling parts of the geometry that are not of primary interest. There are different types of support available, among which you need to choose the appropriate one for your analysis. Here are some of the common types of supports and their explanations: - **Fixed Support**: This type of support constrains all the degrees of freedom of the selected entity (body, face, or edge). It means that the entity cannot move or rotate in any direction. Fixed support is equivalent to applying zero displacement to all directions. Fixed support is useful for modeling rigid connections or supports that do not allow any movement. For example, you can use fixed support to model a bolted joint or a clamped beam. - **Displacement Support**: This type of support specifies a zero or non-zero displacemen

How to define porosity (porous medium) in Ansys CFD (Fluent, CFX)

 To model porosity in ANSYS Fluent , you need to define the porous zone and the porous media properties in the setup. You can follow these steps: In the Fluent interface, go to the Cell Zone Conditions panel and select the zone that you want to make porous. Check the Porous Zone option and click Edit. In the Porous Zone panel, you can choose between two methods to specify the porous media resistance: the Superficial Velocity method or the Physical Velocity method. The Superficial Velocity method uses the superficial velocity (the velocity of the fluid if there were no porosity) to calculate the pressure drop across the porous zone. The Physical Velocity method uses the physical velocity (the velocity of the fluid inside the pores) to calculate the pressure drop across the porous zone. You can also choose between isotropic or anisotropic porosity, depending on whether the porosity is uniform or varies in different directions. Depending on the method and the type of porosity you choose,

How to... fix "gui-domain-label: no domain selected" in Ansys Fluent and MEMERR in CFX

In today's post, we will deal with another error that may occur during the analysis. The error that is described below concerns Fluent and the wrong definition of user monitors that are displayed during simulation. These can be monitors concerning the average velocity in the domain volume, the values of the maximum temperatures of the solid domains, the average values of the heat transfer coefficient from the defined planes of the model, etc. Generally speaking, today's entry is about how to correctly define monitors and how to transfer them between subsequent analyzes. Example of "gui-domain-label" error in Fluent
