Hi all,
Is there any way to obtain a continuous appearance with enSight for the fields U, p, etc ..., as with paraview which interpolates the fields ? As for now I use the foamToEnsight utility, I don't know if the solution would be to install the foam reader to enSight. Thanks, Fabien |
Hi Fabien,
Try using Elemen
Hi Fabien,
Try using ElementToNode in Ensight, which will interpolate the values. Note that this interpolation is weighted with the volumes of the surrounding control volumes, so it is not a tri-linear interpolation. For visualization purposes it is ok. In Ensight you can see if your variables are element based or node based - look for (E) or (N) next to the variable in the variable calulator. For element based variables it is assumed that the value is constant in each control volume. Håkan. |
Thanks Hakan !
It works we
Thanks Hakan !
It works well. Do you think a case mapping between an OpenFOAM result interpolated by ensight and a Fluent result exported with node values can be appropriate ? Fabien |
For better comparison, you can
For better comparison, you can export from Fluent with cell values.

Hi All,
I am having problem
Hi All,
I am having problem with Ensight 8.2.4 installation in linux platform. I am new to linux and openFOAM as well. I followed the installation manual by Ensight but everytime I run the command "ensight82" nothing happens and the "no such file" massage prompted in the terminal. I have set the enviroment as instructed during the final step of the installation process. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Arun |

Volume mesh
Hi foamers,
I want to export an Openfoam file to Ensight format. But I want only the volume mesh to be written into Ensight without the exterior patches. Does anybody have any idea how to do it using Openfoam? Regards, Srikara |
The quickest is probably to extend the existing foamToEnsight utillity to handle a '-noPatches' options (while you're at it, perhaps a '-patchesOnly' option too) and submit your updated version as an enhancement request. It looks like the main code bits to adjust are in the ensightMesh constructor.

Reading error in EnSight
Hello all,
I am running openfoam in a linux machine and produce the Ensight files there. But then I have the Ensight in a separate Windows machine. And I cannot read the file on EnSight, it says error prereading data. It is a normal .case file with the variables too. I think i have to set the environment variables, they are all there except for the openfoam one since it is not in the windows machine. Can you help me with how to open properly the .case file?? Thanks a lot |

How did you convert the OpenFOAM data to Ensight? Using either foamToEnsight or foamToEnsightParts definitely generates case files correctly for me. Code:

problems in Ensight
Hello all,
I am running Ensight in a windows 7-64 bit machine and produce the Ensight files there. And I cannot read the file on EnSight, it says" error prereading data". It is a normal .case file with the variables too.but yesderday,i can run the software successful. Can you help me with how to open properly the .case file?? Thanks a lot |
Ensight Mesh Precision
I'm working on a case with a very high mesh aspect ratio (I need to solve the boundary layer for a supersonic flow). Hence, I need to increase the writing precision for the "geometry" file when I use the application foamToEnsightParts... the default result using the -ascii option is scientific notation with 5 decimals and that's not enougth for me.
Changing the controlDict writePrecision doesn't help, neither the foamToEnsightParts -width option... Any ideas how to do that? |
I came with a solution for my mesh problem... see my post on https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...tml#post722715
