== Data Preprocessing ==
Ensight requires an input file format which is different to the standard TUFLOW output types. RES_to_RES.exe is used to convert TUFLOW xmdf results into an Ensight compatible form. Directions how to do this are outlined here: [[RES_to_RES |RES_to_RES.exe]]
[[File:Ensight_030.png|600px]]<br>
The utility will create the following three ensight file types:
# Ensight case file;
# Ensight geometry file;
# Ensight results files. A unique file is created for each result output variable and time step.
=Common Tasks=
== Loading Data ==
* [[Ensight_Data_Preprocessing | TUFLOW Data Pre-preprocessing Requirements]]
Open the case file (*.case) in Ensight.
* [[Ensight_Data_Loading | Data Loading]]
* [[Ensight_Navigation | Navigation Tips and Shortcut Keys]]

* [[Ensight_Point_Time_Series_Plot | Point Time Series Plots]]
* [[Ensight_Line_Longsection_Plot | Long-profile Plots]]
This will load the 'Part' titled: ''2D TUFLOW Elements'' as Case Item 1.

{{Tips Navigation
Select the "Variables" tab within the data management window (bottom left) to view the model result scalar and vector datasets that were loaded.<br>

These results can be viewed via creating an isosurface of the dataset within the ''2D TUFLOW Elements'' Case Item.
Right Click ''2D TUFLOW Elements''
Select >> Create >> Isosurfaces
[[File:Ensight_004.JPG|400px]]
Within the isosurfaces window:
# Select 'Advance' (top right)
# Enter a unique name for the dataset
# Select the ''Variable'' you would like to visualize
# Set ''Creation Type'' = Isovolume
# Set ''Constraint'' = Banded
# Define the isovolume range. The upper and lower extreme values for the datasets are listed within the variables table (bottom left of the interface)
