"Decent all-rounder post processing tool for Computational fluid dynamics (CFD)"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Ansys EnSight?

1. Visual appeal and richness of the contours, streamlines or other animations generated using Ansys Ensight

2. Parallel computation capability of Ensight which enables faster post-processing of heavy cases

3. Remote computation capability which enables usage of a HPC node as the CPU while only GUI is handled by local workstation which enable fast post-processing of heavy cases

4. Modular approach for post-processing, very helpful for post-processing complex flow pattern cases

5.Mass-weighted average computation is possible with Ensight which is not possible with many others post-processing tools leading to calculation errors for conserved quantities

6. Option to import wide variety of results from different solvers

7. Option to read results as node/cell-centered data which is very important for CFD for some cases and is not possible in many other post processing tools.

8.Low RAM requirement of Ensight Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ansys EnSight?

1. Context files are fragile if the Geom changes from 1 iteration to other w.r.t. part names, they break down easily with minor part name changes!

2. Automation through scripts is not easy in Ensight

3. Learning curve is a bit steep for freshers (workshops or tutorials are a must) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ansys EnSight solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Post processing CFD (computational fluid dynamics) results thereby driving design changes from a detailed understand of thermal and airflow characteristics of the problem at hand to improve product airflow and thermal performance

2. High quality animation for business presentations

3. Comparing multiple high mesh count cases smoothly at the same time (minimal lags even with low end configs from CFD - 32 GB RAM , 4GB GPU)

4. Using it almost everyday without any bugs as such

5. Customer support is very helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
