FLOW-3D to Feature Built-in EnSight 10 for Advanced Post-Processing, 3D Visualization

CEI, Inc. and Flow Science, Inc., both leading providers of computational fluid dynamics solutions, announced today that the two have partnered to embed the latest version of CEI’s EnSight CFD 3D visualization software directly into Flow Science’s FLOW-3D CFD modeling and analysis suite, integrating advanced post-processing and volume rendering animation directly into the FLOW-3D graphical user interface. FLOW-3D users can expect a beta launch this fall of the new integrated solution that incorporates the recently-released EnSight 10, with the final production version coming next year.

Free 90-day IOSO Trial Licenses for Flow Science Customers in North America

Flow Science has entered into a collaboration with Sigma Technology, developer of the high-efficiency, multi-dimensional nonlinear optimization software known as IOSO. Sigma recently released IOSO 2.04, which has direct integration to FLOW-3D. Using IOSO in conjunction with FLOW-3D, engineers can improve the performance of complex large-scale systems and technological processes based on what-if scenarios for arriving at optimal parameters. Through Flow Science, Sigma will offer FLOW-3D customers in North America a free 90-day trial license for IOSO PM, which allows for parallel optimization on multiple nodes.

For more information, contact Flow Science or Sigma’s North American representative, Concepts NREC. Concepts NREC and Sigma will offer training and support during your evaluation.

FLOW-3D customers in Europe can contact XC Engineering (Cantu, Italy, www.xceng.com).
