It also contains post-processing tools for surface data extraction, surface pressure cuts, velocity profile extraction, and force and moment integration. Shadow passwords and full password aging is supported. Images in FITS and PLOT3D format can be loaded and displayed. Though somewhat tailored toward CFD visualization, this package can be used to visualize any scalar and vector data that can be mapped to a PLOT3D or unstructured grid. The package includes tools for calculating user defined scalar and vector quantities from the original data, generating surfaces, particle traces, and isosurfaces, as well as determining topological features of vector fields.
Fields can represent the results from simulations or experimental observations.
FEL is intended to make the development of applications, such as CFD visualization tools, easier. 4725kb Gel Gel is a sample vertical application for visualizing CFD data built upon the horizontal products of the Component Framework, including FEL, VisTech, GelLib, and Env3D. Gel fully supports time-varying datasets, and although primarily used for CFD simulations, other datasets such as weather, finite element analysis, or even nanotechnology, can be viewed within Gel, as long as they can be described on regular Cartesian, PLOT3D structured or unstructured grids. The homecheck program is a sanity checker for user home directories and environment files. The equations are formulated into a hyperbolic set of PDE using the method of artificial compressibility. The convective terms are differenced using an upwind biased flux-difference splitting.
