Introduction

Ensight is 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics result viewing software. This page contains a brief introduction to the software. A number of MapInfo tasks which are repeatedly used in viewing TUFLOW results are described below. If you have any suggestions to be included in these pages, please add them to the discussion page: Ensight Suggestions

Viewing Results

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.exe

The utility will create the following three ensight file types:

  1. Ensight case file;
  2. Ensight geometry file;
  3. Ensight results files. A unique file is created for each result output variable and time step.

Loading Data

Open the case file (*.case) in Ensight.
