Version - 2011
This course is in the form of a case-study that bridges the gap between basic postprocessing and the creation of professional quality animations of your CFD results. The target audience is SC/Tetra, scSTREAM and HeatDesigner users who wish to extend their data visualization capabilities and products to an advanced level.
Results from an scSTREAM simulation of magnetohydrodynamic flow are used to demonstrate advanced techniques such as moving viewpoints (including fly-through), moving visualization planes, particle motion, animated streamlines and cross-fade.
Several component animations are generated from scratch by combining familiar basic visualization methods with more sophisticated techniques. The individual animations are then seamlessly merged to create the completed movie.
Attendees will gain knowledge of:
- Advanced visualization techniques
- Combining multiple Postprocessor functions for high quality animations
- Moving viewpoints, moving planes, and animated streamlines
- Close-up visualization of part of your domain
- Assembling a movie from individual frames using BMP2AVI and cross-fade
- Documentation of advanced Postprocessing techniques
- Recommended prerequisite: One of the Cradle "Intermediate Series" (102-level) webinars
Course Outline:
1. Introduction
2. Preview of the completed movie
3. Overview of the component animations
4. Detailed instructions and demonstrations for each animation
5. Assembly of the completed movie
6. Technical support and advanced Postprocessor documentation
