FieldView question

kdellimore · March 29, 2011, 04:37

Hey. I am considering using the FieldView (FV) postprocessor to analyze my CFD results. However, I am not sure if FV can import the output files from my solver (DYTRAN by MSC software). Does anyone know if FV can read .arc files?

Can DYTRAN export in some other file format ?

Hi Rashid,
thanks for your response and for the tip on Paraview. I will double check what file formats I can export and see if I can find a format that is compatible with Paraview. If that doesn's work then I will try to explore the Fieldview approach again.
Thanks
Kiran

I used to work at MSC for the Dytran group, so I would know.

Reads the .ARC and .THS files.
